Mitt Romney's Plan/Vague Goals for a Stronger Middle Class



This is truly pathetic. His campaign is touting this as their plan. This isn't a plan. This is a list of goals. Yet again, there are no details, no specifics, nothing. It's a one page list of bullet points. He just keeps dodging everything, and gives everyone vague promises of a promised land. How will he get there? Just trust him!

Some of these ideas are already in place (job training programs), some are absurd (deregulating the coal industry? Really?), and some are just laughable (Create a Reagan Economic Zone? ROFL). He doesn't tell where cuts will come from. He has no plans on how anything, even the Reagan Zone, works.

How will you open new markets, Mitt? How will you build economic ties in Latin America, Mitt? Which regulations will you cut, Mitt? How will you attract and retain the best and brightest worldwide, Mitt? How will you protect workers and businesses, Mitt? What will you replace Obamacare with, Mitt? How will you cap spending, Mitt? Where are the cuts coming from, Mitt? Which agencies will you consolidate, Mitt?

R-Money may be the weakest major candidate of all-time. His whole campaign is "I LOVE AMERCIA AND GOD AND REAGAN!!! AND I'M NOT OBAMA!!!" He has no vision, no plans, no specifics. Just a whole bunch of vague promises and a whole lot of nothing. It's pathetic, and at least 47% of the country will vote for this fool.

They do this all the time. Whatever they're really guilty of they accuse Obama.

Compare for yourself:

A well thought out plan for the economy with SPECIFICS.

And most of it lies, when you get right down to it. Making Americans even more dependent upon the fossil fuel industry fosters "energy independence?" Reducing taxes on the wealthy below their already historic low levels to "cut the deficit?" This is just stupid.
