‘Left, Right & Center’: The 13 Percent Solution
Was Mitt Romney's selection of Paul Ryan as running mate a smart pick? The candidates' competing visions for the future of Medicare have eclipsed most of their other scenarios recently, and Romney told his inquisitors that he'd paid at least 13 percent in taxes in the past 10 years. The "Left, Right & Center" panelists debate these issues and more on this week's show.
