Recap of Romney's Major Economic Speech in Detroit

posted by: Dave | posted at: 7:26 PM | permalink here

Governor Romney today delivered a thorough economic address to the Detroit Economic Club. An excerpt:

"One hundred years ago, Golden Jubilee for Queen Victoria, unthinkable England would ever be surpassed as a superpower. But 50 years later, America roared passed.

"Inconceivable to us today that America could ever be passed. We've been competing with Europe for so long that we've gotten a little over-confident. But look east. Asia is emerging as an economic powerhouse. Great news, can buy our goods and products - I was pleased to see all the Buicks when I was in Beijing in December. But also a real challenge. Will Rogers: 'even if you're on the right track, if you don't move, you'll get run over.'

"Standing still isn't a viable option. The question for America is this: what direction should we take?"

Afterwards, the Club for Growth issued a press release containing the glowing approval of Club President Pat Toomey:

“Governor Romney outlined today an economic platform that is, generally speaking, very pro-growth despite the surprising limit he suggests for tax-free savings,” Toomey said. “As the governor develops the specifics of his economic policies, we hope he will boldly build upon the limited government, free-market policies he discussed today.”

Finally, the Governor appeared on CNBC's Kudlow & Company for a detailed interview on economic policy. Here's a segment on YouTube.

It's clear that no Presidential candidate on either side of the ballot is as prepared to discuss issues of economic importance as Mitt Romney is.

John Edwards is all done

posted by: Scott Allan | posted at: 3:43 PM | permalink here

From Drudge:

Democratic U.S. presidential candidate John Edwards on Sunday said that he would raise taxes, chiefly on the wealthy, to pay for expanded healthcare coverage under a plan costing $90 billion to $120 billion a year to be unveiled on Monday.

"We'll have to raise taxes. The only way you can pay for a healthcare plan that cost anywhere from $90 to $120 billion is there has to be a revenue source," Edwards said on NBC's Meet the Press news program.

Tax cuts have always been proven to increase government revenues, stimulate the economy, and brought us out of Clinton's recession so raising taxes does what??

John Edwards = Walter Mondale + Hillary Clinton. He's all done.

I thought Edwards would know better. "The only way you can pay for a healthcare plan that cost anywhere for $90 to $120 billion" is to do it like Mitt did--no new taxes.

The answer is never throw more $ at it. Instead, excise the inefficiencies and reform the system.

Hillary is a communist, hates capitalism

posted by: Scott Allan | posted at: 2:17 PM | permalink here

We all knew Hillary was up to no good with her failed socialist universal health care program. Now Hillary is stating she wants to seize the profits of oil companies and start a "strategic energy fund". I think she is slipping from her carefully crafted moderate position. This is good information for Mitt to have when he faces her in the general election. After all, Mitt is an extremely successful capitalist and instituted an innovative Republican style health care program in Massachusetts. For someone who claims to care about the common worker, Ms. Rodham is quite reckless with our economy and our jobs. Let's let Mitt handle our economy and health care instead.
