http://www.mittromney.com/jobsplan also there is the full plan laid out on his site as well. I would suggest you go over it and Obama's plans as well.[/QUOTE]
Part one of Mitt’s plan is to achieve energy independence on this continent by 2020. America is blessed with extraordinary natural resources, and developing them will create millions of good jobs – not only in the energy industry, but also in industries like manufacturing that will benefit from more energy at lower prices. America’s economy will boom when the billions of dollars we send overseas for our oil are kept here at home instead.
Part two of the plan is trade that works for America. Mitt believes that trade can offer enormous opportunities for American businesses and workers, but only if they are given a level playing field on which they can compete and win. That is why he will work to open new markets for American goods and services, while also confronting nations like China that cheat on trade and steal American jobs.
Part three is to provide Americans with the skills to succeed through better public schools, better access to higher education, and better retraining programs that help to match unemployed workers with real-world job opportunities.
Part four is to cut the deficit, reducing the size of government and getting the national debt under control so that America remains a place where businesses want to open up shop and hire.
Finally, part five of Mitt’s plan is to champion small business. Small businesses are the engine of job creation in this country, but they will struggle to succeed if taxes and regulations are too burdensome or if a government in Washington does its best to stifle them. Mitt will pursue comprehensive tax reform that lowers tax rates for all Americans, and he will cut back on the red tape that drives up costs and discourages hiring.
Ok so I read this and honestly I am trying to see how this is different from what Obama wants to do. Over the past 3 years oil production on federal lands is up 10.4% and will grow the more the government forces oil companies to use the land instead of sitting on it to drive prices up. Creating a trade export is part of the Obama platform. The educating of people for skilled jobs is a focal point of the Obama administration. The biggest difference is Obama wants the government to help you while Romney says you should just borrow from your parents. Cutting the deficit is nothing but blah blah blah since he has not provided one area where deficit reduction is feasible. PBS and Planned Parenthood won't cut shit. Part five is nothing but lip service. If cutting taxes always helped small business then why have the last 12 years been so stagnate? And regulation is another boogeyman word conservatives like to throw out without any real context. Frankly, I see both Obama and Romney closer on this issue than others so things like abortion, gay marriage, women's rights etc. mean more to me in differentiating the two of them.
