"Romney lays out plan to fix economy"

Romney couldn't fix a flat tire...

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

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

[C19fan]

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.

[astyanax]

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.

[yongin]

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.

[OCCASparky]

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

[Mad Dawgg]

"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.

[Enosh]

At least in the movies, Dracula stays down.

[Starboard]

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.

[Diogenesis]

Did bastard Romney help the GOP during Election 2008
when it mattered? No. He did not.

Did bastard Romney call his RomneyBOTs off their attacks against Gov. Palin? No. He did not.

So who cares what bastard Romney says, or does, now.

Ten Point Plan. Which points are good, which are bad?:

1. Repair the stimulus. Freeze the funds that haven't yet been spent and redirect them to immediate, private sector job-creation priorities.
2. Create tax incentives that promote business expansion and hiring. For example, install a robust investment tax credit, permit businesses to expense capital purchases made in 2010, and reduce payroll taxes. These will reignite construction, technology and a wide array of capital goods industries, and lead to expanded employment.
3. Prove to the global investors that finance America's debt that we are serious about reining in spending and becoming fiscally prudent by adopting limits on non-military discretionary spending and reforming our unsustainable, unfunded entitlements. These are key to strengthening the dollar, reducing the threat of rampant inflation and holding down interest rates.
4. Close down any talk of carbon cap-and-trade. It will burden consumers and employers with billions in new costs. Instead, greatly expand our commitment to natural gas and nuclear, boosting jobs now and reducing the export of energy jobs and dollars later.
5. Tell the unions that job-stifling "card check" legislation is off the table. Laying new burdens on small business will kill entrepreneurship and job creation.
6. Don't allow a massive tax increase to go into effect in 2011 with the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. The specter of more tax-fueled government spending and the reduction of capital available for small business will hinder investment and business expansion.
7. New spending should be strictly limited to items that are critically needed and that we would have acquired in the future, such as new military equipment to support our troops abroad and essential infrastructure at home.
8. Install dynamic regulations for the financial sector — rules that are up to date, efficient and not excessively burdensome. But do not so tie up the financial sector with red tape that we lose a vital component of our economic system.
9. Open the doors to trade. Give important friends like Colombia favored trade status rather than bow to protectionist demands. Now is the time for aggressive pursuit of opportunities for new markets for American goods, not insular retrenchment.
10. Stop frightening the private sector by continuing to hold GM stock, by imposing tighter and tighter controls on compensation, and by pursuing a public insurance plan to compete with private insurers. Government encroachment on free enterprise is depressing investment and job creation.

I would think that we'd have agreement on 2,3,4,5,6,7, and 10.

Item 1 might be good, the devil's in the details. Certainly freezing the current plan is good -- whether we should spend ANY money on "fixing" it depends on what the specific things are -- tax cuts would be nice.

I like item 9, but I know some conservatives don't support "free trade".

Item 8 might be good, we need to get rid of some regulation, again though the devil is in the details.

And of course, there may be things missing that should be considered.

Or we could refuse to discuss the list, or consider any of the suggestions, because of our personal animus toward the author.
