BTW, what does Romney have to show for his one lousy term just being a governor? Oh that's right, he left the state in 47th place for job creation (only just ahead of Louisiana ...LOL)! And when he was at Bain Capital, it gets even better.... they bankrupted nearly a quarter of the companies they invested in!
It simply doesn't matter if he has a plan. If and when he takes office, things will look different and he'll do what he can at that time, not what he declared a year before.
That said, he may begin with something showy, kind of a "declaration of intentions" to signal where he intends to go.
1) He won't start any wars, at least in the first period.
2) He may want to extends Bush tax cuts.
3) Romney will probably try to introduce some changes to Obamacare and claim its his vision.
Other that that, if congress remains polarized as it is today, not much will change.

And that figure ignores the state's anemic population growth, not to mention it ignores the improvement that occurred over the course of his term (50th the first year to 33rd the last...would likely have been well within the top 15-20 if you adjusted each state's figure to account for population growth). UE in the state was 4.6% at the end of his term.
A success rate of more than three-quarters sure sounds like a good record. A lot of the companies they invested in were in absolutely terrible shape, on the brink of failure. They saved a lot of people's jobs. Without their help, many more of the companies would have had to go out of business altogether and everyone would have lost their jobs. That "failure" rate includes companies that merely filed for Chapter 11, not Chapter 7. Plus, a lot of the bankruptcies happened years after Bain had ended its involvement with the companies.
I'm sure that people who work at Steel Dynamics, Staples, Domino's, the Sports Authority, and the like are very happy to have their jobs.

Bull crap, the economy stabalized before Obama spent a dime, and it hasnt improved since.
most of those items have already been discredited, or not accomplishments.

Bain Capital bought companies already bankrupt and invested in them. Whats so negative in 25% going under with 75% success rate? Thats far better than average..
p.s. his 47th place, another ignorant posting because they had almost complete employment. A state with complete employment would of course be lower than normal.
Are homeless people the ones who create jobs?
If we give tax rebates to homeless people will it create jobs?
You're certain that homeless people pay taxes.
Interesting.

I am not a Romney supporter I am a Ron Paul supporter.
However I think giving tax breaks to the corporations & the rich will help them create jobs & help them keep jobs in China.
I don't get why many Left wingers cry about jobs going to China while saying we should increase corporate tax rates, tax rates on the rich & increase minimum wage.
(All which will lead to more jobs being sent to China)
if we cut taxes for corporations & the rich it makes it more likely to keep jobs here or even bring them back.
(Remember to ship goods from China costs money & also costs public relations) so at the right tax breaks then many jobs will come back.
Cutting taxes on corporations & the rich has been extremely effective for Germany.
Germany topped the highest corporate tax rates & taxes on the rich in the world.
With Germany havign a 11% unemployment rate in 2005
Germany cut taxes on corporations & the rich & now Germany has a 5% unemployment rate.
If tax cuts resulted in more jobs, we'd have been swimming in a sea of economic prosperity for years now. The Bush tax cuts are still in effect. They clearly had no positive effect on employment. The past decade has seen miserable performance in terms of job creation in the USA, but record-setting job growth in China. A number of large "American" corporations effectively pay no taxes as it stands currently. They seem to favor a communist workforce over hiring Americans.
Fat chance of that happening if we go to war with Iran (and BTW, can you say $10+/gal gasoline?)!
Except just like with the Bush tax cuts that Romney wants to extend, the wealthy (sorry "job creators") will benefit far more... and of course guess who gets to pick up the tab (again)?!
