The points romney made to defend his 20% across the board tax deduction were these:
1. he intends to get rid of various exemptions and deductions.
2. he won't introduce his tax deduction if it increases the deficit.
in the end, he just hid in the long grass again.
1. the deductions remain unspecified and theoretically impossible.
2. the 20% tax deduction is now conditional upon romney's reliability.
so no one really knows anything about romney's plan. it is whatever the latest venue says it should be.
i am beginning to think he is secretive. and also an etch a sketch sorta guy.
;-)
i think this is what will be the final conclusion about romney in this debate. slick surface, for once. but no integrity.
obama on the other hand? needs some time to get into rhythm again.
