Mr. Ryan said that Mr. Obama had pledged to cut the deficit in half during his term in office...But the deficit rose several trillion...
I really hate to clue in someone who appears clueless but the deficit did not rise several trillion. You conflate the debt with deficit. But the deficit is expected to come in this year at 900 Billion. That will be a cut in the deficit of 36% not quite 50% but going in the right direction. His first year the deficit was close to 1.4T
