Poor Willard

Willard the Impostor tanked Massachusetts and left Deval Patrick.

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Mitt is crazy if he thinks a 160 pg plan of anything enacted by Congress can make life better for anybody other than the entrenched RinoCracy in DC..

All he NEEDS to do is open a history book..

Warren Harding figured it out in 1920...

Congress and the Executive Branch have lots to do.

So far they’re not doin’ it right..

Harding cut the government’s budget nearly in half between 1920 and 1922. The rest of Harding’s approach was equally laissez-faire. Tax rates were slashed for all income groups. The national debt was reduced by one-third. The Federal Reserve’s activity, moreover, was hardly noticeable. As one economic historian puts it, “Despite the severity of the contraction, the Fed did not move to use its powers to turn the money supply around and fight the contraction.” 2 By the late summer of 1921, signs of recovery were already visible. The following year, unemployment was back down to 6.7 percent and was only 2.4 percent by 1923.

BTW..ole Warren ALSO fixed immigration...

Mr. Harding signed into law the Emergency Quota Act[3] which sought to control immigration following World War I and preserve the distinctive American culture by ensuring the majority of immigrants came from the historically compatible cultures of Northern Europe. This law aimed to bring wages of hard working Americans under control by limiting immigration to 3% of the 1910 census. It was followed on by a similar act in 1924, after Mr. Harding’s death.[4]

A Warren Harding prescription...if filled ...would ignite the afterburners on the US job machine and the economy. However DC would have to yield on a tremendous amount of power. Our job as We the People...is to persuade them of the “utility” ..shall we say..of doing so. In all probability the same minds that made the mess...aren’t capable of the solution however.

BTW any takers that ‘Bammy couldn’t even tell you that Warren Harding was one of his predecessors in office?

Even more telling about what our betters in the RinoCracy think of a Constitutional President..

[Mr Ramsbotham]

If it takes 160 pages, you can be sure that it’s nothing more than Republican lipstick on a Democrat pig.

[TomGuy]

establish the much-talked-about free-trade agreements with Panama, South Korea, and Colombia

How does that stimulate our economy?

[Tennessee Nana]

How many people is he planning to fire in order to make jobs for others ???

[MichaelCorleone]

Marx/Keynes/FDR/Obama represent failed policies. But the Reagan way of doing things works like a charm.

What am I missing?

RE: No mention of repealing Obamacare, therefore Myth is DOA.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Didn’t you read this paragraph ....

Romney would also issue five executive orders on the first day. The first would be an order “to pave the way to end Obamacare,” which would “return [to the states] the maximum possible authority” on health-care decisions.

Reading is FUNdamental...

I don't believe him.

Do you believe him?

RE: I don’t believe him.

Lert’s say I should not believe him even if he repeats everything he said.... and let’s say it eventually boils down to Romney vs Obama... what am I supposed to do?

I have no choice but to give him the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise the alternative is 4 more years of Obama.

And over here I have a 1948 buick Roadmaster that was only driven by a little old lady on sundays.

[Tex-Con-Man]

I don't believe him.
Do you believe him?

No...but that wasn't what you were suggesting.
You said he didn't mention it. He did.

I want Romney to go away. But on the other hand, I see no harm in him introducing concrete plans as a way to begin the process of candidates defining their positions on the most important topics.
