But Romney is still taking another 3 years, and even stated in the video that they have a plan that will take 8 to 10 years.

He is talking about 8 years to balance the budget (2 TERMS) not 2 years. Watch the video. That is what he says.

Same thing Romney is promising to do in his first term. He wants 8 years, but claims Obama is a failure for not doing it in 4. Watch the video.

David Gregory: Will You balance the budget in your first term? Is that a commitment you can make?

Mitt Romney: I'll Balance the budget by the end of my second term.

What?!?! The economy doesn't turn on a dime just because someone wants it to?! Well I never!!!

And you're saying that Romney won't have the same cuts built into his balancing act?

The other point is that the title of the thread is wrong.

I'm surprised he committed to two...

Well, of you listen to the video, he hedges by saying that they have an 8 to 10 year plan.

Romney has no idea what he'd do.

He's hedging his bets based based on polling and the President's reaction, which I suspect is why he cannot provide details.

A politician keeping promises?
This would be a first.


Their all liars.


Not only that, but I find it hard to believe anyone would listen to anything he says, when he is worse than Obama as far as sticking to his script.
He changes it every other day.
