I was told that during the debate Romney said he wanted to increase military spending.. to keep China in check..the ppl who are lending us trillion's of dollar's

can somebody confirm this?


The only two statements Romney made about the military I saw were:

We have a responsibility to protect the lives and liberties of our people, and that means the military, second to none. I do not believe in cutting our military. I believe in maintaining the strength of America’s military.

and

If the president’s re-elected, you’ll see dramatic cuts to our military. The secretary of defense has said these would be even devastating. I will not cut our commitment to our military. I will keep America strong and get America’s middle class working again.

I might have missed something, but you can check the transcript here http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/03/us/politics/transcript-of-the-first-presidential-debate-in-denver.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
