The moderators seem to lose control of the debate as it went on and it was more of a shouting

Governor Romney’s obsession with cuts and reductions on everything from taxes (paid by the top 1%) to government programs (that benefit everyone else) sound a lot like the fiscal policies espoused by President Bush and President Reagan three decades before that. Reagan has been credited with exploding the homeless problem in the United States (BBC News, 2004; Kengor, 2012) and yet there are many whose policies lie to the right of center and whose policies have been credited with destroying a once-robust
