How Romney and Obama Differ on the Economy

Back to blog

There is no clear bold distinction between these two presidential candidates. The American public has clearly lost any trust in the federal government
and its agencies and absolute excessive bureauracies.
The Laws of this great country must change to allow each State to remain soverign.
A flat income tax across the board for all Americans and corporate America.
The EPA has stiffled development and progress resulting in joblessness.
The immigration laws have not been enforced.
Corruption is rampant. Quite evident in most all entitlement programs which sadly need immediate revision.
Health care cannot be mandated as good health requires an individual effort from every person.
Morality is not the province of a true secular government.
Limited terms in Congress are a must. Entitilements
with respect to health care access should be no different than any other American. The senate and house should be as originally planned......a public service with no tenure guarantees.
The Federal Reserve is no more an independent agency of the goverenment. Eliminate tenure !!
Perhaps a more righteous organization reflecting the will of the people might be established.
Citizenship shoud not guarantee the right to VOTE.
An uninformed vote is worse than no vote at all.
Education in the spheres of health and citizenship is a State obligation.
Eliminate "class", "rich/poor", "race and "poverty" in political debate as they have all been present in all socities since the begining of mankind. Our process for the electorate should make no distinction using the above divisive terms.
Our great country is at ebb in its history that cries for fair and reasonable leadership that will continue to allow every person in this country the opportunity to continue to work for " Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness"

Look I'm 28 year old man who never had any interest in politics until now. But I have.. good enough common sense to realize, after what George Bush has put this country through, it's going to take more than a four year term to turn it all around. The seat's in Washington, which are... full of republican's who strive more for a republican to be the president, than striving to inform every American a fair chance. A lot of these candidates are contradicting they self and saying anything to get a applause. What that tell me is.... they will sell us all out on the first thing smoking.

But as Romney comes closer to winning the Republican nomination. Who's got all this insider information? Try to report the news not fabricate the news.

Band-aids, its all band-aids with different colors, styles water solubility etc. No real solutions are being proposed. Then again, if the baton of adversarial posture of the party in power in Congress continues nothing will get done for another protracted period of time.
Where is the discussion about term limits? About national referendum on key issues? Limitations on military policing? Programs to deal with rising Social Issues and Failing Education?
Where are the truth sayers?
I'm waiting to exhale!

America,, WAKE UP!!!!! Remember election day and vote for the person who has never been in office, the teacher, the policeman, the business owner, the bus driver, the waitress, the average blue collar worker. These are the true americans, the ones who have been there done that. They would have our best interest at heart. Career politicians are in it to line their own pockets at our expense with out our interests at heart. Get rid of all of them and let's start over. If we don't then you get what you paid or voted for. If you don't vote you can't complain. "God bless you and God bless america". I just hope it's not to late.
The current person in office is a joke. Like it or not he is. How is that Hopey, changey thing working for you as an american? He has had 3 years to "change" anything he inherited. The only things that have changed are the unemployment and spending. Both have gone up. So where is the hope? After this guy, the next one has his work cut out for him. We need to "man up" and tell Washington we have had enough of the Change, and Hope that we were promised and never received. You can still be anything you want in this country, it's up to you. This president, and I say it very loosely, has made it possible for a person to stay at home until they are 26 years old! With food stamps, government assistance and unemployment. Where is our backbone?! We are telling our children not to worry, don't go to work the government will take care of you! Give me a break. That's not the american people I know. We are survivors and we are the greatest nation on earth. The present government is making us weak and dependant on them. WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT!!! We the people----remember? Quit being lazy and get off your butt and tell the present government to kiss your back side. I am an american and that means something! You can say what you want about Obama. But let's be real. He is a very good speaker, he's handsome, expresses himself with confidence. However, actions speak louder than words. He has shown the american people absoulty nothing-nata-zip-zero. He has proved that anyone who can speak well can become president. Whoopppeee!!!! Talk is cheap. Understand america that he is going to make millions after his term is over--just by talking!
Thanks for nothing OBAMA. I do hope and pray that the american people are smart enough to not allow him a second term. He has brought america down. He is trying to reach out to our college kids with altering their student loans, etc.... that's where he get's his votes. The younger generation is not used to working for a living and they will believe anyone- including obama. Afterall, they voted him in the first place. Thanks for looking out. I have talked enough. "Man-up" america and let's take back OUR Government. Give the power back to the state where it belongs. Get rid of middle government and let's be a people-UNITED. God bless.

Now that Obama is laying down his plans...shouldn't he be started this long time ago.....what did he do then for the last 3 years. He will not do this I 'm pretty sure......he will just prolong his stay in the White House just to say he is an 8-term president. Please give Americans take a breather from your imperialistic rule. Make this country a better place to live in. We need a CHANGE...now in the economic condition of this country,
I'm sure you know this word CHANGE... for good... not what you've done Change for the worst.
