September 6, 201214 yr No clue. I look forward to Mr Romney unveiling more details. But if the post I quoted above is on-point, he'll need.to do no more than get elected to get credit for creating jobs. That's all we hear from the statists: We'll create jobs. How has Obama achieved this? How will Romney achieve this? Government in general? Seems like an important question since we constantly hear this rhetoric from both parties.
September 6, 201214 yr Author Too many to mention but a couple main ones: The E.P.A. and ObamaCare. Can you expound on the EPA?
September 6, 201214 yr I have many times, posted lots of links,etc on the subject. But most of you guys on the left just dismissed the info and links as bias or unreliable. The EPA, empowered heavily by Obama after his cap and trade failed has cost thousands of jobs and caused massive price increases on lots of products the country needs to rebuild itself..
September 6, 201214 yr Romney has said he will create 12,000,000 jobs in four years. That is an impressive number. The reason there are no details of the job creation plan is that there is no need for one. All projections indicate that 12,000,000 jobs will be created in the American economy over the next four years. It's just a sound bite. It sounds good, but anybody could make that claim. I could be President and take credit for those 12M jobs. These claims are for idiots who will not take the time to learn the issues. If I, or someone in my family has been unemployed for an extended period this sounds good. If I look no further I give that guy my vote. If you get up and go to work every day for your income. Be it $15,000 a year or 1,000,000 a year. If you are a retiree who worked a lifetime and hope to enjoy the golden years. If you study the issues. I mean really study the issues and positions of both candidates (parties), you will understand that neither has your well being in mind. They are all either Democrats or Republicans first, second, and last. Their ideologies are formed by a very small minority of incredibly wealthy and influential peoples, corporations and industries that provide them the funds to get elected. They are beholden to those entities first and foremost and always will be. Elections are being bought all over our country right under our nose. Right here in Kentucky, the fourth Congressional district was purchased by a Political Action Committie out of Texas. They funneled $750,000 into a primary in about two months. More money than all five of the other candidates raised in the entire campaign. Wealthy folks from Texas don't have representation? Sure they do but why not go out and buy more. Until a third party emerges that actually represents us, or real campaign finance reform takes place, we are done. Start brushing up on your Chinese because they are sitting around waiting. Well not just sitting around, they too are buying Congressional and Senate seats. God help us. God help our children.

So the district should not have supported Massie since he accepted out-of-state contributions?
September 6, 201214 yr So...the "hold the country hostage economically until you get "your guy" in the White House" strategy? Typical response. A large business with expendable capitol, is not going to open the vault in these times. They do not know if and when their tax burden will be increased, and fear what the cost of obamacare will be. I myself have become quite conservative with my assets. It's a fiscally driven decision, it's the politics that lead to this type of decision making.

Businesses will spend if they think they can get a return EVEN if they find legislation to be a negative. It's always an ROI equation.

It's always an ROI equation. I agree, they will. I was just pointing out that it is not a "hold back until our guy is in" is mentality. It's a "we're not sure what the future has in store for us, we better hold capitol in the fear we may need it to pay for the negative legislation." If you were uncertain about your fiscal future would you run out and spend assets on things that were not critical, or would you hold back? Businesses that are not holding back right now will be out expanded when times are better. Some will go out of business due to the fact that they spend now and won't have the capitol to keep up when the wallets do open. It's purely a fiscal decision, not one to get a politician out of office.
