He’s right.. to bail them out would not fix their problems nor make ours any better.

Even if we wanted to bail them out, with what would be bail them out with?

[edpc]

Bailouts in general are a bad idea. The institutions receiving the money rarely take the necessary corrective action and end up needing another.

With Romney’s record, if he is elected President he will probably commit US Treasury resources to bail out Europe as soon as he takes office .,...

[EEGator]

One of the few times I’ll ever agree with Romney.

[Steve Van Doorn]

“Europe is able to take care of their own problems”

Is this his way to say he is conservative? There is no excuse for his heartlessness. He is an idiot not a politician. There is an old saying, 'if you have nothing good to say don't say anything.
This is the type of conservationism that plays in the hands of socialist. I really dislike this guy

[familyop]

So even lefty Romney’s right about one thing. Big deal. Most of America by far is against bailing Italy or any other European nation out of its socialist debt. Our own socialist debt is beyond remedy.

Some quotes from the words of George Washington:

“Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice?”

“Nothing is more essential, than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular Nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded...The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest.”

Maybe back during the Marshall Plan, we should have given Germany "strict terms and conditions" for repayment, as well as "austerity" requirements. Think they would have had a Wirtschaftwunder then?

I know we are not supposed to say anything positive about Mitt Romney on this site, but in this one particular case, he's absolutely right.

But the major point is probably that we really can't do much about Italy's problems. We have enough problems dealing with our own financial issues.

[Minus_The_Bear]

The problem: He didn't say that. & I don't trust Mitt Romney.

Romney has said repeatedly that he supports Bernanke... Bernanke is bailing out foreign central banks.

So was Mitt lying tonight or was he lying then?

[Da Coyote]

Don’t worry, Europe. That’s his answer today.

It’ll change again tomorrow.

And again.

And again.

[Recovering_Democrat]

yeah, I agree with him.

And the rest of the panel did too, as I recall.

[wolfman23601]

Finally, I agree with Romney on something, but I can’t trust that will still be his position tomorrow.
