Will Mitt Romney Balance the Budget?

[Faramir]

Are you kidding. With the triumphate of RINOS - Boehner, McConnell and Romney? Not a chance. The best they can come up with is the Ryan Plan, which doesn't even balance the budget until 2030 - and that is based on pretty optimistic economic forecasts.

So why replace Obama with Romney if he won't balance the budget either?

Good question. There is a reason the American public despise Republicans. At least Democrats actually DO something, even if their DOING is destroying America. Rather like the do nothing Conservatives that ran Great Britain until Thatcher came onto the scene.

So will Mitt Romney balance the budget? And will he appoint more appointees like Souter and Roberts to the bench? Why is it important to replace Obama again?

[Faramir]

Since he needs the cooperation of RINOS like Boehner, no he won't. In any case Romney is also a RINO, so don't expect him to do anything more than maintain the status quo. IF he gets elected I doubt, despite the rhetoric, that he will change Obamacare in any meaningful way.

I would be very surprised if anybody balanced the US budget before 2016. Their yearly deficit is higher than the entire economy of Canada

Cant cut expenses, will loose votes.
Cant raise taxes, will loose votes.

A mix of both would be needed to balance the budget
