It does seem hard to argue that Mitt is NOT an economy go-to guy. Some less than intuitive economic decisions in Massachusetts notwithstanding (Romneycare didn’t make health care any more affordable in Massachusetts).
Will he be able to work that kind of economic magic without getting the government involved? Except for getting it out of the way? We shall see.
With 85% democrat legislature to deal with in Taxachusetts, It is a wonder Romney got to balance the budget, improve credit rating of state issued bonds, and actually got 19 taxcuts passed. He also issued 800 vetoes in 4 years...probably a record.
If he gets a majority GOP congress, and he does not deliver significant improvements in budget deficits, I am going to be disappointed big time. If senate remains democrat, his job will be obviously much more difficult.
We as a nation will never start paying off national debt hanging like sword of Damocles on the young, until we first arrive at balanced budgets and then on to surplus budgets.
