Romney Says His Plan 'Radically Restructures The American Economy' By NBC's Garrett Haake and Morgan Parmet

TAMPA -- On a morning where job creation -- or the lack of it -- was the primary issue on the political spectrum, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney promised that his plan -- not President Obama's -- would be the one to get Americans back to work.

"My plan radically restructures the American economy to do what it's done in the past," Romney told supporters at the opening of his Florida headquarters here. "Lead the world, create jobs, drive rising incomes, and make sure that America remains the strong nation that can defend ourselves and provide a future of promise and prosperity for our kids."

Romney also attacked the president's plan, set to be unveiled before a joint session of congress two days after Romney presents his plan. "I haven't seen his, but I saw version one, two, three, four and five of his jobs plan and last month it came out with zero new jobs," Romney said, referencing today's newest employment statistics, which had the U.S. unemployment rate holding steady at 9.1% and a net-zero number of jobs created.

While Romney today did not provide any new details on his jobs plan, he once again hinted at several elements it is likely to contain. (snip)

"I think you will be the state that really sets the final compass," Romney said to his supporters at the headquarters event, just blocks from the site of next year's GOP convention. "Florida is huge."

How's this any different than what Obama promised?

Romney plans to ship more jobs overseas. Wall Street is also bankrolling Romney now.

I’ve had about all the radical restructuring I can take, so no thanks.

And the difference between “fundamentally transform” and “radically restructure” is . . . . .?

Any “restructuring” that doesn’t sweep out 25 years of this

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/08/obama-added-9-5-billion-in-new-regulations-in-last-month/

will fail

why do i suspect any “restructuring” by the RinoCracy, the minds that made this problem, simply an attempt at papering it over for another 4 years?

Yes, that's the very definition of a plan. No details.

I guess Obama’s 2008 mantra of “Fundamentally Change” has morphed into Romney’s 2012 “Radically Restructure”.

In either case, no thanks. I want none of it.

Romney’s “radical” plan doesn’t sound too radical...

“I will make business taxes competitive with other nations, eliminate burdensome regulations and bureaucracy, and support America’s workers instead of its union bosses.”

Hard to argue with the first two points. All the candidates have adopted these principles.

I have no clue what he means by supporting America’s workers instead of union bosses. “Support” always has a price tag.
