We don't hear much about how Romney is running on vastly increasing the deficit

[cthulu2016]

I think the American people's deficit concern is irrational and destructive, in our current economic climate, but it's a little late in the campaign to educate anyone.

People do care about the deficit, and the deficit is by far Romney's best issue in terms of how people rate him versus Obama.

So, playing the cards we're dealt here...

[font size=5]Doesn't it trouble any of these goobers that Romney would VASTLY increase the deficit?[/font size]

Likely hugely... enormously... tremendously...

It's what he's running on.

It's as if George W. Bush's highest issue rating in 2004 was, "Will keep us out of bogus wars."

So though I don't like encouraging deficit-derangement syndrome among the populace, it might not hurt any to note that Romney's stated policies would send the deficit from the stratosphere all the way to the moon.

1. thing is, they operate on such hypocrisy, as soon as a repuke is in office "deficits don't matter"

like cheney said during the * years

2. Because Ronald Reagan

The words that cure all ills, if you're inFOXicated.

3. Sorry, the media doesn't do math.

4. HUGE opportunity for Dems here... the public actually thinks Romney would cut the deficit!

The public actually thinks Romney is better on the deficit than Obama, 50/36! If this became an issue, I'm pretty sure the main reason a good number of independents might vote for Romney could be neutralized, yielding Obama an easy 3-4 more points, and putting this election away.

5. Once Romney gets rid of all that 'Free Stuff' the deficit will go away magically.

6. That's for the fall. When Romney's forced to disclose exactly what

it is he's going to do.

Stripping away the independents.
