He can cut taxes on the richest Americans and fund this tax cut by slashing social services, silly. Which will greatly benefit the economy because the already abundantly large will use their newfound largesse to raise wages for workers. (lol) ... It's worked wonders for the past 30 years, right?

He could do a lot that Obama cannot do. After all, he would no longer face such stubborn obstructionist that Obama has to deal with. You know, the kind of politician who forgets that he ought to serve the people of the United States and who is only interested in blocking any initiative because compromise is seen as a weakness.

One thing he might do is have a clear policy. This President stated that it's not smart to raise taxes in a weak economy then added expenses through healthcare and began a campaign to raise taxes. Businesses have to plan for the future and Mr. Obama's stances have been erratic at best. Romney could also begin to take a look at the regulations in this country. We have been adding about 70,000 pages of regulations per year for along time. This President has done this as well and suggested some very costly ones in terms of money and hours that thankfully have not been implemented. He could also seriously pursue energy which would directly add jobs and would lower operating costs for other businesses.

So you think Harry Reid's going to be out? If you're right, maybe Romney will get pass a budget.

By cutting taxes on the wealthy and paying for a war with Iran (with borrowed money,) we will increase our deficit, increase income disparity and send more people to unemployment. But these people will not have access to any "back to work" assistance programs because Romney does not believe in state-subsidized assistance. So these unemployed folks will sit around watching television, which will increase ad revenue for many important American marketers such as CBS and NBC.

This will stimulate the economy.

Romney's policy ideas are as clear as mud. Actually, he wont even say the specifics on them.

You are asking a question that Romney has avoided like the plague. He will not give any specifics.

You gotta wonder how he will create 12 million jobs, while cutting millins of jobs. I am not sure how the austerity programs will help the economy, but then again, neither does Romney. Looks good on the campaign ads though.

1. Eliminate the Federal Department of Education
2. Eliminate the EPA
3. Repeal Obamacare
4. Pass a balanced budget amendment
5. Reign in entitlements
6. Collect on foreign debt
7. Eliminate foreign aid to unfriendly nations
8. Eliminate contributions to the UN
