Rick Santorum offered up a boast at a speech in Bowling Green, Ohio on Saturday: a balanced budget by 2018 while lowering taxes and keeping defense off the table.

“We will balance budget not by the end of my second term or some fuzzy date in the future, we will balance it in five years,” he said. “I will seek a balanced budget amendment.”
