Believe in America: Mitt Romney's Plan for Jobs and Economic Growth
ISBN: Binding: Kindle Edition Edition: Author(s): Romney for President Publisher: Number of Pages: 122
Mitt Romney will rebuild the foundations of the American economy on the principles of free enterprise hard work and innovation His plan emphasizes critical structural adjustments rather than short-term fixes It seeks to reduce taxes spending regulation and government programs It seeks to increase trade energy production human capital and labor flexibility It relinquishes power to the states instead of claiming to have the solution to every problem
Any American living through this economic crisis will immediately recognize the severity of the break that Mitt Romney proposes from our current course He is calling for a fundamental change in Washington's view of how economic growth and prosperity are achieved how jobs are created and how government can support these endeavors It is at once a deeply conservative return to policies that have served our nation well and a highly ambitious departure from the policies of our current leadership In short it is a plan to get America back to work
