Mitt Romney's Economic Stimulus Plan

<< < (2/3) > >>

virtuoso:

If the trade deficit and budget deficit is not addressed, then tax cuts will not do much to revitalise anything. The world markets are extremely nervous about the dollars continued slide, the U.S needs to allay those fears. If they continue to ignore the above, then it's a full blown recession and that's about the best that can be hoped for, the worst case is a full blown depression but I don't even want to think about.

Machiavelli:
ok, but u need to cut spending if you want to cut taxex, if not the deficits increases and the fed is just gunna print more fake money causing more inflation and weak currency

Real American:
Right now I think I am leaning towards voting for Romney in the primaries. But I agree, someone needs to address the real issue of reducing spending.

Right, what we need to do is implement my Pan-African Socialist program to take wealth away from the crackers and Jews and put it back in black hands.  We also need to silence anyone who opposes us, by force if necessary.  Only Obama will do this when I tell him to.  Obama '08, ya'll!

Exactly.  Co-sign.


See, all Mitt Romney is doing is telling the people what they want to hear.  He's basically saying that not only is he going to fix the economy and save us from hard times, but its going to be a walk in the park, all we have to do is look forward to taking home more money each week from our checks and bigger tax breaks at the end of the year, and more money for businesses, seniors, and the poor!  Whoopty dooo!   Don't you just love government!

Ron Paul (and the Libertarians) are the only politicians real enough to admit to the people that its not the government that "fixes" the economy.  The free market is what determines the health of the economy.  When government gets invovled and tries to "fix" the free market, then it becomes a political game and it doesn't truly address the needs and wants of the people.

Unlike Mitt Romney, Ron Paul (and the libertarian platform) is not afraid to tell people the truth, and the truth is that to cut taxes you have to cut spending.  People don't want to talk about cutting spending, they want a free ride from the government. 

The war on terrorism is a manufactured war to create a business and industry that the politicians and their cohorts can all benefit from.  Mitt Romney has already said that he would increase military spending.  And the largest chunk of our taxes go to military spending.  Ron Paul has said that the most obvious way to cut spending is to greatly reduce the size of the military oversea's.

Ron Paul openly advocates cutting many other government programs as well (such as FDA, the FED, the War on Drugs, the list goes on forever) and people don't like that cause they believe they benefit too much from government programs, but it must be done.  You can't spend and tax at the same time, and just keep printing more money.

My point is, until Mit Romney has the balls to tell people how he is going to cut spending he needs to shut up and quit lying to the people telling them that he can "fix" the economy by simply cutting taxes.  This is a fairy tale people should see right through.
