I'm skeptical about Romney having a lot of economic sense. More than Obama, for sure, but that doesn't mean he's good, by any means.
In my profession, I interact with corporate executives frequently. I have been surprised by how ill-informed some of them are on basic economic issues. Remember it's these type of people who often lead the charge in Congress on stupid policies because it is advantageous to their company or industry. Given Romney's enthusiasm about the auto bail-out, cap and trade, and other economic issues, I doubt his economic instincts are that great. His economic solutions always involve government intervention.
If I'm proven wrong about Romney, I'll remind you that I was. If I'm proven right about Romney, you'll have to remember that I warned you about Romney because I don't play the "I told you so" card. I'm really sure that we're being sold a bill of goods in Romney.
I’d have to see what “the rest of the story” is about Mitt’s more liberal economic leanings. Does Mitt have a vision for how GM and Chrysler can be turned back out of the taxpayer funded zoo to live in the wild? Is Romney open to evolving his view on global warming (if not for that widespread belief, cap and trade would make no sense to anyone, let alone Romney)? Romney does seem to be stumping for “tax less” and that has to lead logically to “spend less.”
