From Wiki, Governor Romney reversed the financial situation in Massachusetts from a huge deficit to a huge surplus.  He will do the same for America.

Upon entering office in the middle of a fiscal year, he faced an immediate $650 million shortfall and a projected $3 billion deficit for the next year. Unexpected revenue of $1.0–1.3 billion from a previously enacted capital gains tax increase and $500 million in unanticipated federal grants decreased the deficit to $1.2–1.5 billion. Through a combination of spending cuts, increased fees, and removal of corporate tax loopholes, the state ran surpluses of around $600–700 million for the last two full fiscal years Romney was in office, although it began running deficits again after that.

Yeah, having a surplus is easier than you'd think when nothing ever gets done on time and the unemployment rate is going down because people are leaving the state, isn't it? And the surplus would have been EVEN BIGGER if they had just let Governor Romney follow through on his attempted plan to charge people twenty-five bucks for having the temerity to be blind!
