Take it to the bank...Mitt will reign in regulatory burdens on small businesses, give them tax certainty, and with help from a GOP congress repeal Obamacare. This guy has spent decades investing in small outfits and helped them grow. He knows better than any politician in Washington what makes small businesses tick.
If you listened to speeches from his former subordinates, you will have noticed Mitt is tight with spending money. You are very unlikely to see massive expansion of any entitlements including healthcare. Romneycare was a state issue, and obviously popular in MA since it has not been repealed after Mitt’s departure what 8 years ago? I have no problem with any state experimenting with whatever. That is spelled out in constitution as states rights. States can not go overboard in spending levels anyways because they can not print money unlike the federals. States can go bankrupt. Feds can keep on printing money but that too has limits as winessed in Greece & Spain.
Mitt has promised to sign repeal to Obamacare and that is one of the very few areas he has not been seen to waffle upon. That he would fail to do this, is not a fear to me.
The bigger question is whether Mitt is wise enough not to try to turn Uncle Sam itself into a big Bain. Answers that work screamingly well in the private domain bomb out when governments do them, because there is no economic necessity that would force them to stop. How will Chrysler and GM ever get off the government books? Nobody wants to release that tiger’s tail.
Romneycare is Hugely unpopular here in Massachusetts ( Although initially popular ) and an unmitigated disaster. The reason it hasn’t been repealed? Have you ever seen a massive entitlement program repealed,even when it’s massively unpopular?
