After a tough month for his campaign, Mitt Romney revitalized his bid for the White House on Wednesday night with a solid debate performance, Fox News reports. A well-prepared Romney dominated the incumbent President in the standoff on the economy.
Borrowing a line from Vice President Joe Biden, Romney said: “Under the president’s policies, middle-income Americans have been buried.”
Obama attempted to paint Romney as unsympathetic to the needs of working Americans, but Romney pushed back, accusing Obama of engaging in “trickle-down government”. Disputing Obama’s claims, Romney vowed to balance the budget and not add any tax cut that would explode the deficit. Given the $16 trillion debt, Romney also pledged to spend money only on programs that are so valuable that it would be worth “borrowing money from China”.
