Reality Check: Ben Swann examines the true numbers behind Romney and Obama's deficit plans, and demonstrates that neither candidate has anything close to a viable plan to reach a balanced budget over the next ten years.
All politicians should be required to wear clocks around their necks displaying a running tally of the national debt. Something like this:
In 4 years the national debt will hit $21 trillion, regardless of who wins this election. Romney doesn't have the cojones to make the cuts, just like every President before him. And since he actually wants to increase military spending from current levels, he'll end up a deficit president just like Obama.
Count on it.
