So this is Romney's plan for the economy:

That is PATHETIC. Even Bill Clinton's was shorter. Hell, Herman Caine had 999. No wonder Americans wants Socialism and Obama over you dumb Republicans.

Sounds like you went to public school that passed you for crying. Too bad they did such a good job of teaching you are ENTITLED.



Edit: After reading his plan. It appears his plan is to get Big Government out of micro managing Business. I was going to thank the person that typed it into his answer until he called it stupid.



Time for the USA to recapture the Pioneering Spirit & give up the attitude of being entitled! Clinton had NO plan. Gingrich balanced the budget. DARPA created the Internet. Reagan's Military Budget enabled Clinton's military cut backs. Clinton's budget was enabled by others!

Go back to reading your comic books then. The lazy attitude you display is why so many voted for Obama in the first place. Learn the facts by making an effort then vote intelligently instead of whining about reading a page or two to learn something.



@ More stupidity. I am not a republican. I find them almost as distasteful as you left wing loons.They are a little brighter than you guys tend to be but not much.



87 pages? No problem. An hour or so of reading. When you get into high school you'll find that is a common enough amount to read for homework. You do know about homework, right? You do plan to attend high school some day, right?

regrettably, Obama's plan would not seem working. 4 years of extreme unemployment and occasional strengthen. Now Bernanke is asserting that strengthen in 2012 would be below 2011 and 2010. The financial equipment is worsening. little doubt we can hear greater excuses and blaming of others for this present day failure, yet how plenty longer can we would desire to continually watch for a real financial turnaround? in step with risk you think of Obama's financial plan is greater suitable yet what are you basing that on? Wishful thinking? using fact he actual hasn't known plenty potential in recuperating the financial equipment.

If the Repbulicans want to win more converts over to their side they have to stop with the negative politics. This document is full of -- "Obama fails to understand -- this....that.....some other thing". Tell us how you will fix the economy and, for example, how lower taxes will create jobs. Jobs are created when a corporation experiences more demand for their products. How does offering tax favoritism to the rich create this demand. Demand is in the hands of the middle class. That is what I need an answer to and maybe then I would be a Republican if it made sense.



Another thing, it should not say that we should stop all rules on corporations without telling us which ones they are and why. Dodd-Frank was enacted to protect us against banks and brokers selling worthless securities as having value. Is that one of the ones to repeal?

Must be the reason no one bothered to read the "health care reform" bill. I can understand regular people not reading it, but i always believed it was the job of congress to read them. Not "we have to pass it to find out what's in it".

Oh and I don't want either socialism nor Obama over true economic growth.
2012-07-06 18:24:03 UTC
Would you like to know what's pathetic?



That you can't think of any better or more intellectual way to criticize someone you disagree with than stating their plan for the economy is a "long boring stupid" one.



Conjunctions are your friend.

"But we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy."

Nancy Pelosi



Let's not be silly.

When did SHORT become the definition of GOOD?

When did we become so idiotic as to expect that complicated issues can be solved with simplistic solutions?



We already have enough Socialists in our government:

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/302031/obamas-third-party-history-stanley-kurtz#



No more.

However, thank you for demonstrating what Socialists think will solve our ills.

Simplistic idealism that we pass without reading.



Pelosi is a formal member of the Democratic Socialists of America (public record, folks, don't believe me, go double check).

Does a 2600 page health care reform that NO ONE read and still got passed ring a bell? You libs are the pathetic ones. Always have been, always will be.
2012-07-06 18:26:52 UTC
I don't think he does. I was shocked to just now hear about the 59 point plan. No one knows anything about. He seems tired of it all. Never before has so much been taken out of a man as Romney. My prayer is that Obama will be President. But I do like competition at some point. I don't know what it is. People just don't like him.
2012-07-06 18:24:49 UTC
This is coming from a Democrat who's elected politicians wrote a 2700 page healthcare overhaul that is deliberately indecipherable.

"One of the things that always gets a sigh of pity from me is the way the Right Wing tosses around words like "socialist" or "communist", when they make it patently clear that they have no idea what these words even mean."

yet you want us to read obama's 2000 page obamacare bill, and the 13,000 plus pages of regulations......I would just love to see obama's plan for the economy
2012-07-06 18:38:29 UTC
Hidden in that lengthy pile of BS is the simple idea of every GOP politician,cut the taxes of the wealthiest Americans and screw everyone else.
2012-07-06 18:23:35 UTC
Believe it or not, some of us are both involved and intelligent enough to actually read, and we're not the inane slogan droolers and followers of your ilk.

My biggest problem with his 59 point plan is that he will abandon it the moment he gets elected.

I'll give you a summary. Points 1-59 are all different ways of saying "I will repeat the failed big-government policies of Obama and Bush."
