Romney lays out plan to fix economy

Mitt Romney says that like other presidents, Barack Obama inherited a recession. But the former Massachusetts governor feels unlike his predecessors, Obama has made the recession he inherited worse, not better.

In an op-ed in Wednesday's USA Today, Romney says what he calls the president's inability to "stem" the rise in unemployment should not be a surpise.

"With no experience whatsoever in the world of employment and business formation, he had no compass to guide his path. Instead, he turned over much of his economic recovery agenda to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, themselves nearly as inexperienced in the private sector as he," says Romney.

The op-ed's release comes hours before the president holds a jobs forum at the White House. The nation's unemployment rate stands at 10.2 percent, the highest level in 26 years. November's job report will be released Friday.

In the article, Romney, a Republican presidential candidate in the 2008 election and a possible contender for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, lays out advice he terms a ten point plan to help reenergize the economy.

Why doesn't Willard the RAT just join the party he likes best?
It is the Democrat party!

How about admitting how much Romney Care is hurting Mass.?????

[dforest]

So the plan is to impose Romneycare on the US. And please, don’t use the fact that you only did what you did because you were in a liberal state. Look Mitt, you may be smart, but you are the past. You are handsome and all, but please go away. You and Huck need to keep your day jobs. Ovah!

We need new real conservative blood to take the reins.

Romney?!
You’re either fond of living on the edge or you just haven’t been paying much attention lately...

[Jim Robinson]

Here’s my 3 point plan that beats the hell out of any big government authoritarian 10 point plan:

1. Cut the spending,

2. Cut the taxes,

3. Cut the government.

Repeat.

Slick Willard Alert!

[Constitution Day]

You forgot the [barf] appended to the title that normally tells us all how we should think before we even read Romney articles!

Shame on you.

[avacado]

Even if that clown wasn’t a full blown RINO I still wouldn’t like him because of what he has done in the background to hurt and maime Sarah Palin.

Romney lays out plan to fix economy

With endorsements like this one, the boy's a shoe-in.

[C19fan]

I found the USA Today editorial and the glaring omission is he has nothing to say about ObamaCare = RomneyCare on a national scale. He mentions No Cap and Trade and Card Check but the silence in deafing on ObamaCare.

[OCCASparky]

If it’s anything similar to his healthcare “fix” in Massholistan, I’ve heard enough already, thanks anyway.

"Romney lays out plan to fix economy"

Is this the same guy who signed Romneycare into law which went broke in under two years?

[GOP_Lady]

Thanks, Mr. Romney.

[xcamel]

Damn... you’re in big trouble now....

[lurk]

He seems nice. He would make a manager of a library or opera house. Or maybe a university president.

Just not POTUS. Please no.

At least in the movies, Dracula stays down.

With no experience whatsoever in the world of employment and business formation

No experience in anything really and this shows in the daily contradictions coming from his shoot-from-hip, make-it-up-as-you-go-along approach to governing. He's no leader. Obama is all style and no substance.

[RU88]

Had to laugh when he trashes the “public option” while signing Romneycare! Think dementia has set it’s claws into ole’ Mitt.
