ROMNEY's PLAN to RESTRUCTURE U.S. ECONOMY

Big H /T to NBC's FIRST READ this AM

Romney says his plan 'radically restructures the American economy'


TAMPA -- On a morning where job creation -- or the lack of it -- was the primary issue on the political spectrum, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney promised that his plan -- not President Obama's -- would be the one to get Americans back to work.

"My plan radically restructures the American economy to do what it's done in the past," Romney told supporters at the opening of his Florida headquarters here. "Lead the world, create jobs, drive rising incomes, and make sure that America remains the strong nation that can defend ourselves and provide a future of promise and prosperity for our kids."

Romney also attacked the president's plan, set to be unveiled before a joint session of congress two days after Romney presents his plan.

"I haven't seen his, but I saw version one, two, three, four and five of his jobs plan and last month it came out with zero new jobs," Romney said, referencing today's newest employment statistics, which had the U.S. unemployment rate holding steady at 9.1% and a net-zero number of jobs created.

While Romney today did not provide any new details on his jobs plan, he once again hinted at several elements it is likely to contain.

"I will make business taxes competitive with other nations, eliminate burdensome regulations and bureaucracy, and support America’s workers instead of its union bosses." Romney said in a breakfast time speech to Hispanic leaders, gathered for the annual Republican Hispanic National Assembly meeting. ." "

I can't wait to read the details. The plan is said to be very substantial and broad in scope and right before both the debate and the President's plan. Fantastic positioning and great for comparison

"Romney says his plan 'radically restructures the American economy'" It is about time America's economy get restructured radically. Why did he wait to lose his front runner status to say this.

Oh, oh....

His plan is described as "radical."

Not good, Craig. Not good at all.

Is he trying to portray himself as a "true believer?"

Ha Ha
You guys are actually a lot of fun to debate with. We'll all have to see what he comes up with. But we are all in agreement that we need some pretty radical surgery. We just disagree, maybe , on the survivability of the patient

The word "radical" is probably a risky one to use. It opens him up to possible criticism certainly. The thing is, we need some radical restructuring. Romney's catch phrase in 2007-8 was that Washington is broken. If anything, it is even more broken now. We've been drifting along not paying attention to the catastrophe that is headed our way, and we need a radical change of course to return to solid, substantive, quality leadership.

I remember the day that Romney announced his candidacy for president, and Palin made news for stepping on his big day by being in NH herself. I heard some news person ask him if that bothered him. He said not only did it not bother him, it was doing him a favor. His plan was to move quietly through the summer, and after Labor Day, make his campaign more public.

I suspect that his "jobs plan" has been in the works for some time. It is interesting that it is coinciding with such a bad news day for Obama with today's story of zero job growth.

I'm looking forward to seeing the details of this plan.

Romney 2012!

" " Wow, Mr. Romney is really pulling up his socks with that phases. Haha, Are you sure Moderates are going to except that kind of language? I am glad he finally found a pair and is standing up for the people.

Radical in this case is probably a good idea.

Certainly something radical is indeed whats in order to fix this mess.

Oh, gracious, OJ! Anyone who has listened to Mitt or followed his strategy......he said it would start after Labor Day. It's almost there. He'll be out and about plenty from here on out.

We will have PLENTY of time to hear the messages from the candidates between now and the GOP primaries.

Radical ---> SERIOUS

OJ--it's all been in his book all along and is consistent with how he tried to govern. Nothing really new.

It's like Palin making a speech now and including content from her facebook posts over the years, then one of us stating that she's finally starting to say the right things.

Not so much incorrect, just a bit odd to supporters.
