There's this -- meant leaving the -- I have a hard time seeing someone as an economic conservative who voted against right to work as Santorum bit.
Who voted to protect.
Davis bacon as Rick Santorum did.
Who voted to raise the debt ceiling five times without compensating cats as Rick Santorum did who voted in favor of funding Planned Parenthood as Rick Santorum did.
This is a guy who's a far far a far cry from a fiscal conservative and -- of people want to have somebody who's a real conservative they're gonna vote for me.
We're -- -- -- governor -- laying in -- santorum's economic record as large pointed out this could be a big bottom conducted tonight.
But let's -- financial consultant -- -- does says that -- stood name pointing at himself.
Because his fiscal conservative credentials -- the -- as well see you think governor Romney's got some problems that and -- himself right.
I think all of the candidates have problems among themselves because they are not to looking at this objectively.
As.
As a responsible person should they're looking you know this as a politician would and are saying that things is that.
They hope -- gonna get them elected to but the fact of the matter is not one of them.
-- start up and said that we have to stop borrowing money I have never seen in my fifty years of handling bankrupt companies.
A financial problems solved by continuing to borrow money.
And nobody no candidate is said.
If I'm the president we will stop borrowing money period and we'll live within the means that we have in this country.
So when you hear that has all of the varying degrees want to cut spending obviously not dramatically about it likened.
Which means that obviously the borrowing is going to continue for a number of years before presumably -- even the best case scenario they get.
The increase under control -- and that's not good not and that will boomerang.
In his.
And a boomerang.
I have seen it done many many companies.
That I have been the bankruptcy Tristan.
I have seen the most educated.
Most aggressive businessman with the greatest degrees from the best -- -- colleges an economist run companies.
A bankrupt and into the ground so educational.
And business experience credentials.
Is not the key here -- and we will.
To realize I'm sorry but real quickly -- if you had a choice between Mitt Romney or Barack Obama simply on that aspect of getting.
Spending.
Under control.
Where would you go.
I suspect that I would probably lean towards Romney because his business experience.
Has put him in a situation where he has in fact had to deal with insolvent and bankrupt companies in the acquisitions.
That they have looked at in the businesses and they've acquired from -- all I would say that he's probably a good candidate.
Because of his troubled business experience cuts you can thank you very much good stuff.
