While the rest of the world deteriorates, the U.S. remains a pillar of economic strength.
And the reason for this, believe it or not, is the massive deficits that have been run by DC, replenishing the private sector with cash. Despite incredible gridlock, and a party that's been devoted to cutting spending, the fact of the matter is that the U.S. has not embraced the austerity wave that's gripped much of the world.
The economy is still fragile, and we need these deficits to continue, which is one reason to think that Mitt Romney would be the better candidate for the economy.
He's pretty much given up on any pretense of balancing the budget while offering broad tax cuts. What's more, a Romney White House would make the Congressional GOP forget about cutting spending, and revert to their old ways under Bush (austerity is purely an out-of-power concept).
But that's not the only reason to like Romney!
