it makes a difference to the total debts of "our kids" if the federal government bears the burden but not if the state government bears it?
this is nonsense on stilts. all romney's model means is that burdens are concentrated on the states rather than shared by all the states. and of course, the united states pays a lower rate of interest on debt than a state that is facing the aftermath of a calamity.
the guy is an opportunist.
