So specifically, what lies did Romney tell?

[Southerner]

I missed the debate and I see a couple hundred threads on here saying Romney lied constantly but no detail given. What exactly did he lie about? Details please. I heard NPR this morning briefly on the radio during my commute do a short fact check segment and the conclusion seemed to be Romney only stretched things a bit. One example was the oil subsidies per year are about $4 billion instead of the lower number Romney gave.

2. Here Are a Few.

1.) Romney claimed he would not lower taxes for rich people and that his plan did not cost $5 trillion. He even went as far as to say that of he were present with a plan like the President Obama described he would be against that plan.

2.) He yet again claimed that President Obama had cut $716 billion from Medicare to finance Obama Care.

3.) In terms of the oil subsidies Romney did not just get the number wrong his statement about where the subsidies went was wrong. Romney claimed that the oil subsidies only amounted to $2.3 billion and that they only went to small oil and gas companies.

4.) Romney claimed that President Obama spent $90 billion on green jobs.

3. Claimed that "his" health care plan would cover pre-existing conditions

a) He has no plan -- since he's disavowed on Romneycare.
b) Just last week he was saying that people should use the Emergency Room for primary care.

He also refered to Obamacare as a "government take-over of health care" which Politifact christened as the "Lie of the Year" in 2010.

6. He repeated lie #2 five times.

4. His healthcare 'plan' would cover preexisting conditions.

Obama called him on it and he defended it. Yes, it WOULD cover them.

After the debate, Willard's spokesperson said no, his plan would NOT cover preexisting conditions.

Shocking.

7. Lie: $90 billion could have gone for more teachers. Only states can hire teachers.

There's NO way that Obama's government subsidies for schools can be mandated for teacher hiring. States must spend state taxes on school systems that determine their work forces. The whole claim appealed to public ignorance of how school funding legally works. The federally government cannot hire an army of teachers to add to any state payroll.
