I find it absolutely amazing that he can say with a straight face things like "Our formula for achieving a balanced budget is simple: create the conditions for economic growth, keep taxes low and spend taxpayer dollars wisely or not at all," while announcing a $410 billion deficit. (Actually $610 billion because the approximately $200 billion needed for the wars are not included.) I guess he means that achieving a balanced budget should be simple for for a competent leader, even though he could not manage go get even close to it.
