The GOP Plans that will NOT Reduce the National Debt

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget is a nonpartisan group that looks at the federal budget and purposed plans for the budget and analysis them to see how they will effect the national debt. The Committee decided to look at the plans put out but the current crop of GOP Presidential Candidates to see how much their plans will reduce the debt. Only one of them does, so here are the numbers.
Mitt Romney's plan would
add
$250 billion to the debt over ten years.
Rick Santorum's plan would
add
$4.5 trillion (yes trillion) to the national debt over the same time.
Newt Gingrich's plan is not to be out done as it
adds
$7 trillion in ten years.
It is only Ron Paul's plan that would reduce the debt by 2.2 trillion.

I find it highly amusing that the only plan Republicans have that would reduce national debt is also the one
guaranteed
to destroy the country, instead of just being
highly likely
to destroy the country.

Even Ron Paul's plan would greatly worsen the government debt over the long-term, probably the worst of them.
