Getting serious about it is going to mean some serious pain - and Romney being elected was like putting a band-aid on a compound fracture.
And ... leaving Hussein in charge is like amputating the limb rather than fix it.
either way we had two guys telling us they plan on 4 more years of deficit spending against the largest deficit we've ever had when we can least afford it. Sure, Romney probably would have been less overall but significantly different? How much do you want to believe after watching the last 12 years unfold?
