Good commentary by David Horsey on the first presidential debate that criticises Mitt Romney's debt problemshooting. The commentrator perhaps said that 'he has no real clue how to fix a budget', and he rightly said so. Trillions in debt can't be liquidated by unfunding the petty things that are important public programmes.

This story is about how Romney wants to stop the PBS television shows and his ideas that could and eventually raise military spending.It explains the promises of cutting taxes, but all the deficit. This story appears to be one-sided, and somewhat biased. I think the journalist did a good job using dialogue the candidates have said, not a very transparent story , he did not supply any actual evidence supporting all of his information. It was informative, but the writer used words like "attack," and "radical" showing his own feelings on how he felt about it.
