BIG BAD BUSH
Romney
- Bush and I are different. Times are different. More possibilities.
- We can get all of the energy we need inside US.
- Will open trade with China (or get tough?). More FTA.
- Will balance budget.
- Champion small business. Rep. focussed too much on big bussiness. Will
help small business with lower taxes. Current tax policies discourages small
businesses from hiring.
Obama
- Administration started during tough times.
- Created 5.2 million new jobs (timeframe?).
- Romney's economic plan is tax cuts. This is what created deficit in first place.
- Romney helped pioneer outsourcing to China. Invested in companies that did business
with China.
- Cracked down on unfair business practices. Romney thinks this is protectionist, but
this saved jobs.
- Romney will turn medicare into a voucher, calls for self-deportation, will eliminate
funding for planned parenthood. Difference with Bush and Romney is in social policy.
