October 25, 2012 - Detroit News endorses Mitt Romney, not Barack. In an editorial titled “Mitt Romney for President,” the paper lays out the case. Two key passages:
Hope and change are still what Americans are seeking. This time, Republican challenger and Michigan native Mitt Romney offers the best hope of changing the nation's fate.
Romney brings credible plan.
The Keynesian approach has not worked. Despite an $830 billion stimulus and increased annual spending, the economic recovery is the weakest in post-World War II history. Investors remain on the sidelines, afraid to put their money into job creating projects because of the uncertainty about future tax and regulatory policy.
Had Obama done as well with the rest of the economy, it would be hard to deny him a second term.
My point is that it doesn't matter what plan the paper is referring to, because Romney seems to change his mind on what he's going to do at least weekly. There's no way of knowing if that's what he'll actually do or not, because he's presented just about every viewpoint possible, on just about every issue, over the last eighteen months.

How can we trust any "plan" we hear from Romney? He is saying anything just to get into office - if he had not waffled so much in the past things might be different.
In reality he is a "vulture capitalist", not a traditional conservative businessman, and is just a front man for Wall Street imo. Big Oil, multinational corporations, outsourcers, deregulators, tax cheats, will fill that empty suit.
Will he make a sudden change from his past when in office? Check out his record in Massachusetts - he avoids talking about it.

* Trickle-down Reaganomics and a watered-down stimulus is not Keynesian. We are still in republican trickle-down mode.
* The investor class does not create jobs - that is a Fox talking point and a lie designed to get it's wealthy base out of paying taxes (repubs want 0% on capital gains). The "fearful investor" because of 4 years of Obama? Give me a break.
* Supply-side is a 30-year failure. Demand-side creates jobs. Dems are right - top-down economics doesn't work and is responsible for whatever failure we now have. Middle-outward is what has worked in the past (yeah, taxes on the wealthy "job creators" were higher).
* The Detroit News will always make a case for the right-wing candidate. Their case for Romney is as speculative as anyone else's - and predictable imo.

The only thing I trust him to do is exactly what the teavangelicals and wall street want him to do--you're right--the only thing the guy cares about is being president. He doesn't stand for anything, he'll say anything to win, and he'll do anything if he's elected to keep his job.

A lot depends on congressional support.
He'll have the "big-money boys" on his side. Certainly no end to Citizens United, trickle-down and deregulation on steroids, a stacked activist Supreme Court, not a chance of campaign finance reform - in other words, back to 2008 and more of what we had then.
He is a business "harvester" and his base will continue to "harvest" the U.S.A. for their own profit as they are doing now. This is the Romney business model. Will he change it?
Bain Capital: "an investment partnership which was formed to invest in startup companies and ongoing companies, then to take an active hand in managing them and hopefully, five to eight years later, to harvest them at a significant profit".
Does this sound anything like "growing and nurturing a business to long-term profitability"? You be the judge.
