Senators call for deficit-reduction presidential debate

washingtontimes

Republican senators Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, along with Mark Pryor, a Democrat from Arkansas, and Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, sent a letter to the co-chairs of the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates Wednesday requesting that the first of the three officially sponsored debates, which will address domestic policy, devote a significant amount of attention to each candidate's plan to reduce the the spiraling deficit.

Comment:

If Obama is re-elected, the odds will increase for a France style soak-the-rich tax.

If Romney is elected, the odds will increase for a significant reduction in the role of government.

The country is confused on the matter.  I think Obama will try to keep it that way.  Romney's challenge is to clear up the obfuscation.   The outcome of that will possibly determine the outcome of the election.
