Romney has no plans/no message/no direction

Romney is offering supply side economics - i.e., give the wealthy tax cuts and the middle class consumer austerity - which made sense 30 years ago, but makes no sense now.

The problem is not inflation, it's demand. Romney's policies will choke demand.

Business is sitting on historic levels of cash. Giving them more cash in the form of tax cuts won't change the real problem: consumers are not buying enough to soak up the inventory already in existence. Business won't start adding jobs until consumers start to spend vigorously. The last time we were in this position was during the Great Depression. The only thing powerful enough to bring us out of it was the largest government spending program in history - war manufacturing for WWII. The government put the nation to work manufacturing the products needed for war. . . and then consumers started spending (because they had jobs), and then the capitalists had to add even more jobs to go after all the new spending money created by government jobs.

And after our victorious veterans came home, a Republican president put them to work building the nations suburbs and interstate. (And guess what? - business made major profits on the infrastructure government created. Commerce depends on roads, bridges, water treatment plants, energy grids, etc. The fucking Southwest would not exist but for the Hoover Dam)

Government was the spender and job create of last resort - and it lead to the greatest economic expansion in history.

(When the problem is demand, supply side economics does not work. Romney is going to jump in the ditch and start digging)

If business needs them, they have piles of cash (according to you) to build them.

Crying about failed Keynsian policies is useless.

Romney Ducks Immigration Question

Romney's nickname should be "Duck"...

Obama prostituted himself and his integrity for some latino votes.
Stevie Wonder could see through this election year ploy

That's not true. He tried to get the Dream Act through congress, the senate gave it 55 votes but it wasn't enough to stop Repubs from obstructing yet again.

They can still get it through congress if that is how they feel but they just keep screwing around with everything.

It could have been done in his first two years in office, no problem.
It still should be done through Congress. Not on an executive order during an election cycle. This is why we have 3 branches of government for checks and balances.

That argument doesn't work because Rubio wants to do the same thing only to make it permanent. Do you think Rubio is trying to get the Latino vote for Romney?

Has Rubio issued an executive order?
Whatever congress and the senate do is one thing that I would have to live with, but that would be at least doing it through the right channels, and not by an executive order 5 months before an election. Seems to be quite transparent to me and most Americans

It shouldn't be done at all. It's nothing more than amnesty, which the majority of Americans oppose.

Most Americans? Not really. Some Republicans maybe. Rubio cannot create policy, that is the advantage of the president, he is also a part of the checks and balances.

Why didn't Obama's Congress get it done while they had the opportunity??

Republicans and independents, Sarah....plus a whole lot of democrats see it...don't care, but they do see it.


Yes, checks and balances is still a good thing in American politics. Especially with something this important.

Please explain the so-called "opportunity" that "Obama's Congress" had. You may wish to read the following link before you answer...

President Obama DID NOT control Congress for Two Years! | The Pragmatic Pundit

NOTE: Plus, the above link neglects to mention the Blue Dog Democrats (DINOs) like Senator Ben Nelson that Obama had to contend with.

They always had the opportunity, Obama and the Democrats in the senate wanted to do it by going through congress but it was blocked by the same old bullshit minority Rs. He has the opportunity to get something done now and he did it. The President shouldn't have to wait until we have a super majority for congress to do the right thing, you know?

Independents are aware of GOP obstruction according to recent polling. They blame GOP in congress for this stalled economy.

Sarah, it's not a Bill and it can be recinded...it's an election year ploy.
It could have been passed through a bipartisan Bill that Rubio WAS working on. What in the heck was the rush?
 
What STUFF is that?

Community organizing? A State Senator that sent fetuses to death in Illinois?

A Federal Senator From Illinois that spent MOST of his time on the Campaign trail running for POTUS and voting 'PRESENT'?

Really?

Duh, it would be the stuff listed in the two links.

In other words...nothing of value.

He's not even stumping for his soon to be killed health care bill.

Instead he is acting like a jerk and going after Roberts (whose gonna jam that bill right up David Axelrod's ass).

Alright, imagine you're the team captain on a football team.

You're in the middle of a game when....half your team flips you the bird, and goes home.

That right there is EXACTLY what the conservatives have been doing to Obama. So his opponents can bitch allll they want (and they will)
BUT YOU CANT EXCEL AT SOMETHING YOU NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO DO
