Anything is possible, Create the Right environment for it, and there is not Much the Private Sector can not do. Though I do think it is rather unwise of Romney to make such Bold Promises.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Would be very hard...5-6 million is possible, while 7-8 is doable with a lot of hard work and good policies. I think Bush made about 5 million if I remember.(Before he losted a crap load of them of course)

You have to wonder is there some gene in republicans when out of power that causes them to say the dumbest things? Bush Jr reduced taxes, allow me to repeat that, Bush Jr reduced taxes and do you know where that got us? it has to be genetic, no one is this dumb. Reagan raised taxes, Clinton raised taxes, FDR raised taxes - those were better times.

"In terms of promoting economic growth, the Bush tax cuts have been a miserable failure. Under George W. Bush, U.S. GDP growth averaged 2.1 percent a year. Since the end of World War II, the country has never experienced such low economic growth during an eight-year period. And if you exclude the war demobilization of 1946, when U.S. government spending fell by two-thirds and GDP fell by 10.9 percent, Bush had the worst economic record since Herbert Hoover."

The tax changes didn’t do much for Vermont, either. Job growth so far this decade is worse than any decade since the 1940s. We have fewer jobs today than we had in 2000."

"There is no historical evidence that tax cuts spur economic growth. The highest period of growth in U.S. history (1933-1973) also saw its highest tax rates on the rich: 70 to 91 percent. During this period, the general tax rate climbed as well, but it reached a plateau in 1969, and growth slowed down five years later. Almost all rich nations have higher general taxes than the U.S., and they are growing faster as well." Tax cuts spur economic growth

Probalby not.

Some of his ideas are okay, but the fact is that we can't compete against third world labor unless we set the rules as to what is acceptable. And neither party is willing to do that, they are all in bed with the big corporations.

I found this quite interesting from the link:

That would be significantly faster growth than the 3.6 percent pace predicted recently by the Congressional Budget Office for the years 2013 to 2016 (essentially the years of the next presidential term).

That reads like there is already a projected growth and all the next Prez has to do is expound on it slightly to reach that goal.

I can't disagree.

I just don't know how to change that, or if it's even possible.

It depends on how much he's willing to get out of the way while maintaining a solid base of proper government oversight.

He won't get it through direct manipulation.

We have seen 5+ % growth per year in the past--so I believe he is being realistic with a 4% growth model.

I am a small business person of 30 years. Think of small business in this country standing in the middle of a swamp--they see the other side--and then they see the Federal Government dumping in crocks and snakes (government regulation) making it much harder to reach the other side.This administration is killing business in this country with often unnecessary and expensive regulatory B.S. So I agree with him here.

China has been screwing us for years. They continually manipulate their currency--they get the stick we get the shaft--and their economy is growing at 9+%.

So yes I like Romney's plan--and it is doable.

A saved job is not a created job.

How do you determine what a saved job is? Why was it a saved job and not a job that just stayed as a job.

Obama went on the road bragging about all the saved jobs his administration was responsible for.I never understood that claim.Just as Obama again was bragging about 15 months in a row his administration was responsible for hundreds of thousands of jobs.Yet every month I would hear on the radio the prior months job numbers and the reporter would say another month of bad job numbers....Still this President doesn't get any criticism
what so ever.....

The Bush Tax cuts did not cause our Economic Troubles. If anything they staved them off for a bit. The Underlying Problems we have are not the Cause of the Bush Tax Cuts.

Not matter how many times you fucking idiots try and say they are, It wont make it true.

No. Not with that plan. It's just a re-hash of disproven GOP ideas. Nothing new. In fact, it will probably make things worse. Encouraging companies to sit on cash? Not what we need now. Encouraging Americans to save and not spend? Not what we need now. Repealing the only plan to slow the growth of health care costs? Not what we need now.

It's a bad plan.

So you want to work hard, and get paid less? That works for you?
