Claim: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney claims that his plan would balance the federal budget in eight to 10 years. But so far, he has not made public the details on how he would be able to do that, and one neutral budget expert calls it "an unrealistic goal." Also, Romney and running mate Paul Ryan exaggerate when they say "five different studies" prove that all of the stated goals of Romney's revenue-neutral tax plan could be accomplished without raising taxes on middle-income taxpayers.
