				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan like to use a lot of tough talk about cutting &#8220;entitlements&#8221;, debt crushing the country, and rewarding hard work, so wouldn&#8217;t they run their campaign based on these principles?</p>
<p>Apparently, not.  According to NPR and NRO, in August the Romney Campaign <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/09/18/161383145/romney-campaign-borrowed-20m-is-11m-in-debt">borrowed $20 Million</a> against their future campaign receipts and is over $11 Million in Debt.  This seems to go against Romeny&#8217;s own stated &#8220;<a href="http://www.mittromney.com/sites/default/files/shared/Fiscal.pdf">Cut, Cap and Balance</a>&#8221; program that would allegedly force the USA to &#8220;live within its means&#8221; and only spend money that it currently has.</p>
<p>By Contrast the Romney campaign <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/sns-rt-us-usa-campaign-romney-bonusesbre88k169-20120921,0,7746657.story">according to spokeswoman Andrea Saul</a> <span>raised $66.1 million in August and spent $61.2 million.</span></p>
<p>To top it off the campaign paid out bonuses to its staff after obtaining the nomination, <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/sns-rt-us-usa-campaign-romney-bonusesbre88k169-20120921,0,7746657.story">to the tune of over $200,000</a> for the awesome performance of the convention.</p>
<p>So, in summary, super slick, smart business consultant Mitt Romney&#8217;s campaign organization spends more than it takes in, borrows against the future, and rewards failure.</p>
<p>This is how Mitt Romney would run the country, except the bonuses would be larger and the failures for the American people would be graver than Clint Eastwood  yelling at a chair.</p>
