Obama: end wars, cut defense spending, increase taxes on the wealthy...and badda bing badda boom, you have a surplus, and you can start paying down the deficit...as president Clinton did. Rmoney: Cut taxes across the board (heavily weighted towards the wealthy), remove deductions for poor people, spend WAY more money on the military, start another war or 2 or 10 (china, north korea, libya, egypt, etc) and, and all the money we "generate" from war mongering will solve our problems. yeah, that's great
