Did you know 615 Economists, including 6 Nobel Prize winners have signed up supporting Romney's economic plan?
As the plan to get our country's economy growing again?

http://economistsforromney.com/

Their Statement:

We enthusiastically endorse Governor Mitt Romney’s economic plan to create jobs and restore economic growth while returning America to its tradition of economic freedom. The plan is based on proven principles: a more contained and less intrusive federal government, a greater reliance on the private sector, a broad expansion of opportunity without government favors for special interests, and respect for the rule of law including the decision-making authority of states and localities.

Applying these principles, Governor Romney would:

Reduce marginal tax rates on business and wage incomes and broaden the tax base to increase investment, jobs, and living standards.
End the exploding federal debt by controlling the growth of spending so federal spending does not exceed 20 percent of the economy.
Restructure regulation to end “too big to fail,” improve credit availability to entrepreneurs and small businesses, and increase regulatory accountability, and ensure that all regulations pass rigorous benefit-cost tests.
Improve our Social Security and Medicare programs by reducing their growth to sustainable levels, ensuring their viability over the long term, and protecting those in or near retirement.
Reform our healthcare system to harness market forces and thereby reduce costs and increase quality, empowering patients and doctors, rather than the federal bureaucracy.
Promote energy policies that increase domestic production, enlarge the use of all western hemisphere resources, encourage the use of new technologies, end wasteful subsidies, and rely more on market forces and less on government planners.

In stark contrast, President Obama has failed to advance policies that promote economic and job growth, focusing instead on increasing the size and scope of the federal government, which increases the debt, requires large tax increases, and burdens business with many new financial and health care regulations. The result is an anemic economic recovery and high unemployment. His future plans are to double down on the failed policies, which will only prolong slow growth and high unemployment.

President Obama has:

Relied on short-term “stimulus” programs, which provided little sustainable lift to the economy, and enacted and proposed significant tax increases for all Americans.
Offered no plan to reduce federal spending and stop the growth of the debt-to-GDP ratio.
Failed to propose Social Security reform and offered a Medicare proposal that relies on a panel of bureaucrats to set prices, quantities, and qualities of healthcare services.
Favored a large expansion of economic regulation across many sectors, with little regard for proper cost-benefit analysis and with a disturbing degree of favoritism toward special interests.
Enacted health care legislation that centralizes health care decisions and increases the power of the federal bureaucracy to impose one-size-fits-all solutions on patients and doctors, and creates greater incentives for waste.
Favored expansion of one-size-fits-all federal rulemaking, with an erosion of the ability of state and local governments to make decisions appropriate for their particular circumstances.

In sum, Governor Romney’s economic plan is far superior for creating economic growth and jobs than the actions and interventions President Obama has taken or plans to take in the future. This November, voters will make a fundamental choice between differing visions of America’s economic future.
@Maxmom - Prove it. Show me the list of hundreds of economists, including 6 Nobel Prize winners supporting Obama's plan.

Anybody who knows the slightest thing about economics knows that Radical Left-Wing Extremist Barack Obama's policies will never work. But go easy on the Nobel Prize thing. Remember they gave one to Radical Left-Wing Extremist Barack Obama (Al Gore too) so it doesn't carry the prestige it once did.

You got this from a website called economistsforromney.com......The name in itself nullifies any credibility you might try to attribute to it.

One only has to look at Bain Capital's ultimate fate to know if Wrongney's plans will work, unless, of course, you are seeking the Country to go bankcrupt.

The only problem I see with Romney's plan is The Presidency can accomplish none of it because everything on the list you provided is up to The Legislature. If he has a plan to get Congress and Senate to pass his proposals, I'd like to hear it. Meanwhile, I'm voting for anyone but Obama. We've already seen what he's up to and America can't take another 4 years of that.

So, and I bet they are all high income people. His plan in the long run will cost more and do less.

Don't cast pearls before swine.

The Obama crowd will never understand rational thought.
