What is the Republican Strategy to Improve the Economy?

But I thought the deficit was Obama's fault.

Politics are confusing.

I don't know, eliminate taxes, while paying people to shoot brown people (illegals, of course, while ignoring people like that guy who's made two threads on "VAWA" on another forum here), homosexuals, and feminists? Also getting teenage boys to learn the value of the dollar by giving them their first jobs as giving pregnant women vaginal ultrasounds during pregnancy to magically inspire motherly feelings in them. Upping the cost of university tuition as such that only rich WASPS can attend, I mean, we don't need no education, right...

Okay, really, I don't know what their strategy is, they haven't spoken on it much. Which makes me wonder about Romney's campaign managers, since a good selling point would be the jobless rate.

He doesn't seem to know what his strategy is either. I'd love to hear how he is going to pay for all these tax cuts he wants to give himself! All he is currently interested in doing is bashing Obama and "Obamacare". He's a stuck record.

The Republicans should change their parties name to the "cult of low taxes party", or the "let's do the same thing over and over again party", or the "let's make it so that American workers are on pay that even Mexicans won't want to work for party".

You do realize that Romney is not President yet don't you. I can't figure out if your really that slow or you just like stirring the pot. So your saying the massive deficit is not Obama's fault because some left wing political talk show, predicted Romney, who is not president yet would add to it.

Please tell me you don't vote

I'm sorry, I was joking and thought it was obvious.

Reading things around here, you'd swear the deficit is Obama's fault alone and he should have it all fixed by now. If anyone honestly believes Romney, as President, would not add to it then they are fooling themselves.

A millionaire who can't get his accountant to file his tax returns on time has no hope of being able to run a country.

Can anyone honestly answer that? Seriously, what's the plan?

I can answer that. The economy is stagnant because of a lack of confidence in the future and

a general perception of uncertainty.

The Obama economy is loaded with uncertainty. We have rising costs of food and energy (which

are conveniently excluded from the Fed's official inflation metric), health care, education,

and most importantly, a rising debt. We spend more money just paying interest on our debt

than we spend on the Departments of Education, Energy, Homeland Security, Commerce, Justice,

Interior, and State combined!

There's a perception that Obama is hostile to the business community and success. Whether it's

true or not is irrelevant - perceptions are all that matter! Corporations and small businesses

don't have a clue what tomorrow will bring. Corporations are hoarding cash that could be put

into expansion and new jobs - there are literally trillions of dollars sitting on the sidelines

and waiting. The money will stay there until businesses feel more secure about the future.

The only plan Democrats ever have to improve the economy is to get us deeper into debt by further

increasing government spending with job programs that would enhance income for teachers,

firefighters, police officers and other public sector workers. That, and "tax the rich".

When Obama goes, so will the uncertainty that haunts corporate America and millions of investors

around the world. The effect of a Romney presidency will be immediate - capital inflows will

return, unemployment will drop, people will start buying homes again (which will restart the

building sector), and like a chain reaction, the economy will turn around.

GOP doesn't need a plan. Their plan is to get rid of Obama. The second Obama is gone, the

economy will improve. Guaranteed.

I thought it was quite obvious you were joking. And he is questioning YOUR intelligence?

Some people are looking for nothing more than a target on these forums to put down to make themselves feel better. My brother (who wears a Sarah Palin t-shirt) likes to do this and call me a liberal and hints at questioning my intelligence lol - although he never directly does it. I could tell him quickly I have the highest IQ of my siblings but he's aware of it already.

He's actually a great brother in many ways and I love him dearly...but we are on different sides of the political spectrum.

So the answer is ... they don't have a plan. Get elected and figure it out from there. That won't cause any uncertainty at all.

I see you conveniently ignored the rest of my post, where I explained why getting rid of Obama

will improve the economy.

I didn't ignore it, I felt it was too long to quote. I read it.

So, basically, any new President will improve the economy because the reason it's in the toilet is Obama. It isn't Romney, specifically, that will do anything special.
