Romney’s ‘On the Road to Greece’ from the Second Presidential Debate

The World

In the first US Presidential debate, Republican candidate Mitt Romney attacked the Obama Administration’s economic record.

Romney said he did not want the US to “go down the path to Spain.”

In the second Presidential debate, Romney took aim again at Europe’s economic woes. Four more years of President Obama’s policies, he argued, would put America on “the road to Greece.”
