How do you think the country would change as a whole if he were to become president at some point?

What would you foresee happening?
Good or bad.

Massive privatization of Social Security, for one thing.

Fine with me, that ponzi scheme will be insolvent by the time I retire.

But what he won't do is eliminate EBT, or bogus programs like Refugee Resettlement, grants to NCLR, Catholic Charities, etc. Those will be kept in place. In fact, I expect him to "urge" charities to step up to the plate and fill in the gap left by the elimination of various social programs. And of course these charity scams will skim off the government funding for themselves and their executives. Much like in Third World countries where aid is siphoned off.

I also expect the US Postal service to be auctioned off to the highest bidder. He'll keep Obamacare in place, because after all, it's essentially Romneycare, but no subsidies.

Judging from his performance in 2012, I don't think Mitt knows what he would do or not. His flip-flopping was all over the map.

Like a hooked trout. Pretty fitting for a cold fish.

I think the most important aspect might be that a President Mitt Romney would be in a position to put Mia Love on an inside track to become prez in 2024. We'll have our first beautiful black female libertarian-conservative prez who is a fan of Bastiat. Mia Love will once again be able to proclaim: "and we were the FIRST to do it."

you mean giving the option to the people of investing part of their retirement in the FREE MARKET for a better return and more personal control of their accounts?......yeah that is awful!!!! you know the majority of Americans are just too dumb to control their retirements and make decisions in their best interest.....they need big brother for that.

He would've been taking all the credit for unemployment being low and the low gas prices which he would've had nothing to do with. History would've given him the credit as well lol

That's why I always say, half the part of being considered a great president is being in the right place at the right time. Bill Clinton is so lucky he was in office during the tech bubble

you are clueless......Romneycare is a state health care reform that is only for 1 state and the people in that state approved it. Obamacare is a federal mandate of 1 size fits all that raises taxes and the debt of the nation that the majority of Americans dislike.....learn the difference.


Mitt Romney and Healthcare: Romneycare Vs. Obamacare




the USPS is losing money big time, you don't think the private sector can run it better? typical liberal, keep trying the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
