Well, Romney has decades of experience doing exactly what we need to do the deficit.
Obama has just spent four years increasing it exponentially.
This is kind of a no brainer.
Please provide links to Romneys decades of experience.
The 2 political partys are very successfully deflecting the blame for our troubles away from congress and on the presidents and candidates. Have been for a couple of decades.
And the sheeple are buying it.
As long as the R congress refuses to work FOR America, nothing much can happen. Its easy to assume they'll suddenly change their ways if there the prez is R but all signs point to the opposite. If Mittens is elected, he has said he will go with the Ryan "plan" to bankrupt the country.
The Bush fiasco showed us how well that works. Higher taxes for the working class, much lower taxes for the 1% and a real depression. That's what Mittens/R have planned for us.
Add to that the FACT that Mittens has no real experience with much of anything. No, I don't count the tax bail out of the Olympics, the trash and burn of Bain or his failed and corrupt governorship.
Third reason why he would be a total failure is that he has taken enormous money from the worst players. He is now owned by them.

I really don't think that's necessary. Are you really unaware that Romney made his fortune by cutting waste, corruption, and needless spending from failing business to make them profitable again? Are you unfamiliar with him cutting waste, corruption, and needless spending from the Olympics? You unfamiliar with him cutting spending in Mass?
Romney, in concert with the legislature, created new fees, doubled fees for court filings, professional regulations, marriage licenses, and firearm licenses, and increased fees for many state licenses and services. In all 33 new fees were created, and 57 fees were increased, some that had not been adjusted in over a decade. Some of these fees included were service fees, such as charging businesses more to put up signs. Opponents said the reliance on fees sometimes imposed a hardship on those who could least afford them
Romney increased a state gasoline special fee, dedicated towards cleanup of contamination around underground fuel storage tanks, by two cents per gallon, generating about $60 million per year in additional revenue
The state also cut spending by $1.6 billion, including $700 million in reductions in state aid to cities and towns.[20] In response, cities and towns became more reliant on local revenue to pay for municipal services and schools. This had the effect of causing property taxes to rise by five percent, their highest level in 25 years in Massachusetts.[21] In 2005, Romney signed legislation allowing local commercial property taxes to be raised, which resulted in $100 million more in property taxes from local business owners

Before Romney came on, the event was running $379 million short of its revenue benchmarks
Mitt Romney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The federal government provided between approximately $400 million[139][140][141] and $600 million[142][143] of that budget, much of it a result of Romney's having aggressively lobbied Congress and federal agencies

I thought Romney was evil for making so much money.
His numbers do not show a deficit.
Obama's do

all they care about is getting elected, not fixing shit. That being said they really dont have a plan anyways beyond that.
The deficit cannot be dealt wuith through cuts alone. That is a pipedream. In order to get back into surplus so we can begin paying on the DEBT, we must cut spending AND raise taxes.
Anyone that tells you increasing taxes ALONE will get us out of this is wrong/
Anyone who tells you cutting spending ALONE is wrong.
They must BOTH be done.
That is simply the reality of it.
So to the original question: ROmney or Obama who is better suited to tackle the issue?
Which of the two is willing to do both cut spending AND raise taxes?

There is more money to be had by their supporters/cronies by not fixing the defecit than by fixing it.

To do anything meaningful with the deficit will require new and/or higher taxes.
That lets Romney and the GOP out. The GOP, even should they not have the majority, will stop any tax measures with a filibuster..
Game over.

I am always amazed when somebody says this. So let me ask: do you really think that raising taxes will get you a meaningful reduction in the deficit? Allowing the Bush tax cuts on the top 1% making above 250k gets you maybe 70 billion/year against a 1.2 trillion deficit this year. Is that your idea of meaningful? Do you really think you can raise taxes that much without a meaningful impact on economic growth?

No Romneys numbers show that in every instance of his involvement with government, he increases the burden of the taxpayer.
Obama has cut taxes.

Obama said he'd cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term. That is a failure. That means we give someone else a shot.
