FACTS MATTER: The Ultimate Guide To Mitt Romney’s Convention Speech

ThinkProgress has compiled a Viewer’s Guide comparing what Romney says with the facts:

Romney On His Tax Plan || Romney On Wall Street || Romney On The Budget
Romney On Bain Capital || Romney On Obamacare || Romney On Medicare
Romney On Women’s Health || Romney On Energy || Romney On Global Warming
Romney On The Auto Bailout || Romney On Welfare Reform || Romney On Food Stamps
Romney On Security || Romney On LGBT rights


Romney on Wall Street



Look, no one is talking about deregulating Wall Street.” ThinkProgress, 8/15/2012]

REALITY: Romney has called for the full repeal of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act, the first major overhaul of the nation’s financial regulatory system since the Great Depression, and while he has supported a “streamlined regulatory framework,” the only specific regulations he mentions in his plan are already in Dodd-Frank. His own running mate is certainly talking about deregulating Wall Street: the House GOP budget authored by Ryan dismantles key parts of the law. ThinkProgress, 8/25/2011, 8/13/2012, 8/15/2012
