. and with the u.s. economy forecasted to grow by about 3% in 2013 and 2014, romney's plan, as attractive as it sounds, is in doubt. kevin hasset is an economic adviser for the mitt romney campaign and author of some of the economic plans. kevin, romney plans seem to assume that simple act of lowering taxes will generate enough growth to raise the revenue to pay for the steep cost of those cuts. but a lot of economists agree with that notion. it's a classic chicken and egg scenario. i talked to larry summers a couple days ago. he can't get the math to work either. >> it's easy to have an attractive tax plan if your campaign staff can make it up. the reality is that every expert who's looked at it found that cutting taxes by 20% costs $5 trillion. >> okay. let's get down to this. we understand there will be certain revenues that will come in. there will be certain revenues lost. you kept people keep some of their money. the issue is how much more growth to you get from that? the issue is how much better is the economy because you have given everybody a discount on the taxes that they pay?

, they don't agree on much. let's look at the romney plan first. if this were to represent everything he wants to spend money on web knows he's not going to get it because he has a deficit. how is he going to deal with that deficit? he says he's going to do it with tax cuts. tax cuts initially are going to make the deficit worse. so he needs to off set them. he says he's going to do that by looking at deductiones and loophol loopholes. says he won't go after things like the mortgage detection or the health care deduction, things that middle class people rely on. economists say if you grab up all the other detections that you might put on wealthier people and you put them all back into this pile, it's not going to be enough. you're going to end up eventually having to tax the middle class or watching the deficit just get bigger. at least based on the plan as they know it rye now. barack obama, he has a different version of the same song. he has all the things he wants to pay for. he also will not have all the money he needs for it. he's going to have a deficit, too. he says you can deal w

:00. >>> governor romney's plan to lower taxes is getting a lot of scrutiny by the obama campaign. here is a look at some of the numbers. >> reporter: romney's plans start by lowering tax rates 20% for everyone. it's a major tax cut that the non-partisan tax policy center said that they will cost the federal budget $480 billion a year. roughly $5 trillion over ten years. but romney and running mate paul ryan say they will offset those costs by reducing tax reductions. they won't say which ones. that's to be worked out with congress. but they promise that they will only target the rich. >> deny those loopholes to higher income taxpayers so that more of their income is taxed, which has a broader base of the taxation. >> am i rambling? >> reporter: in theory there is plenty of money to be found in tax deductions. $1.1 trillion a year, but the most valuable deductions, they don't just benefit the rich. the tax-free benefits that workers received when they pay for health insurance, the tax deduction for mortgage interest and the tax-free payments that workers use to their 401k program. all used by mid

, romney's plan to cap deductions at 25,000 would yield $1.3 trillion. now, that's nowhere near the $5 trillion romney needs for his plan. now, despite this, the romney team calls the study misleading and deceitful. but the numbers are the numbers. there's nothing misleading or deceitful about the numbers. if his plan only comes to 1.5 trillion. then clearly he's way off 3.5 trillion to be exact from $5 trillion, jared. >> unfortunately, your math will never get you a job with the romney campaign but you're absolutely right. 1.3 is less than 5. so that's correct and the thing that is bothering me about all of this, besides the assembly around the numbers, they are lunching so much. clearly these folks never sat down and thought about whether their plan added up. so they throw out a number. by the way, it was 17,000 in terms of capping deductions and then it went to 25 and all of that's -- again, it's a symbol of a group that has no clue how to make this math add up and you can't make it add up. there are not enough offsets to pay for the $5 trillion cut full stop. >> dana, what's the p
