If you are referring to Mitt, then I say he is an odd choice. All evidence indicates that he would bust the budget beyond anything Obama ever considered doing. One piece of evidence supporting that view is that he is a Republican. They have been budget busters for years and have a much worse track record than do the Democrats. Another thing supporting my view is the Ryan "plan." Ryan's laughable assumptions indicate that he is unconcerned with debt/deficit. It's all ideology for him and Romney seems to be hitching his wagon to him.

On the other hand, if Romney really wants to raise taxes on the middle class - http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/UploadedPDF/1001628-Base-Broadening-Tax-Reform.pdf - then maybe he can achieve a lower deficit, but not in a beneficial way.
