Everyone here has heard of the New Deal, the Fair Deal, the Square Deal? Mitt Romney is trying to sell you a sketchy deal.

Last night: President Obama on Mitt Romney's Sketchy Deal - 2012 Presidential Debate in Hempstead, New York
“Now, Governor Romney was a very successful investor,” the President began, turning to Romney. “If somebody came to you, Governor, with a plan that said, here, I want to spend $7 or $8 trillion, and then we’re going to pay for it, but we can’t tell you until maybe after the election how we’re going to do it, you wouldn’t take such a sketchy deal and neither should you, the American people, because the math doesn’t add up.”
He went on to say that “this (either) blows up the deficit, because keep in mind, this is just to pay for the additional spending that he’s talking about, $7 trillion – $8 trillion before we even get to the deficit we already have. Or, alternatively, it’s got to be paid for, not only by closing deductions for wealthy individuals, that will pay for about 4 percent reduction in tax rates.”
