Predictably,

Mitt Romney came out against last week's debt ceiling deal screeching that President Obama's "lack of leadership" had brought down the S&P downgrade on all our heads.
In this, Romney is running his usual passive playbook, running as a sort of "undeclared" tea partei fellow traveler.
It is worth remembering though, that the only public budget that Mitt Romney was ever responsible for, was in Massachusetts, and he balanced it by ruthlessly raising every single state fee within his gubernatorial reach.
This is why it costs me $45 for my auto registration...
So when Mitt Romney talks about balancing the budget by cutting and capping (or whatever the poll tested buzzword was last week) count on it he is lying.
