MANCHESTER, NH - AUGUST 20: Republican vice presidential candidate, U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) speaks to supporters at a campaign rally at Saint Anselm College on August 20, 2012 in Manchester, New Hampshire. He joined Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney for a town hall-style event just two days after President Barack Obama made campaign stops in New Hampshire.

1) “[G]et us energy independent, North American energy independent. That creates about 4 million jobs”. Romney’s plan for “energy independence” actually relies heavily on a study that assumes the U.S. continues with fuel efficiency standards set by the Obama administration. For instance, he uses Citigroup research based off the assumption that “‘the United States will continue with strict fuel economy standards that will lower its oil demand.” Since he promises to undo the Obama administration’s new fuel efficiency standards, he would cut oil consumption savings of 2 million barrels per day by 2025.
2) “I don’t have a $5 trillion tax cut. I don’t have a tax cut of a scale that you’re talking about.” A Tax Policy Center analysis of Romney’s proposal for a 20 percent across-the-board tax cut in all federal income tax rates, eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax, eliminating the estate tax and other tax reductions, would reduce federal revenue $480 billion in 2015. This amount to $5 trillion over the decade.
