Jeff Jacoby insists that

Mitt Romney will be a big smash on college campuses this election year with his blustery promises to balance the federal budget and thus spare the kids the awful burden of public debt.
Well...what can I tell yuh, Walter Mondale himself came to my college campus in 1984 and made the exact same accusation and made the same promise and my fellow students still flocked to vote for the GOP second biggest GOP deficit spender of all time, Ronald Reagan.
If it didn't work for Mondale in 1984, it won't work for Romney in 2012.
And anyway what is worse in a historic sense?
A government carrying debt to bridge a time of crisis or a government that won't meet its obligations because it is run by professional welshers and conservative posers?`
