I may be wrong, but doesn't a lot of the over-promising come from the presidential debate over economic policy, whereas the president only signs off on the Congress Budget bill, and congress does the heavy lifting?
I get there is Obama's Gitmo and other items, but I don't understand the economic focus on presidential candidates when it is congress's duty to pass the budget.
Or am I wrong?
Is it that the presidential is supposed to lead congress in the discussion?
