Interesting comment about bending the deficit curve down further and faster by MM. Except its not true............hence, my comment re MM's sanity. Take the auto industry. Romney wanted the industry to fend for itself. He didn't care if people hurt because of closures. He explained away that "cold hearted" approach by saying that " market forces will take care". That is another way of saying let those laid off workers go and work for Toyota, Hundai and Kia plants. That is not patriotic, is it? What's interesting is that he's in LA now viewing the storm damage...........a move I thought a bit cheeky but whatever.............and a woman told him she lost her home to flooding. His response..........call 211. What's makes that response strangely interesting is two-fold. First he is suggesting to turn to the gov't which Rs consider to be a bloated pig that should be downsized significantly if not eliminated altogether. Secondly, the 211 program is one of those programs that Ryan's budget would eliminate. If Obama sat back and did nothing because "it would add to the deficit", we would have the downfall of GM, an American icon. The US President should be smart enough to know when to use a credit card; should it be used to fight two wars or should it be used for the economic benefit of the people. That's just it...............Romney is not that smart. It takes much less smarts to break down something and then sell off its parts than it takes to create something from scratch like say MSFT. Obama hasn't created a MSFT in his past, but he understands apparently instinctively how to build from a small and/or tenuous position like the auto industry was and make it better.
