Comments about ‘Mitt Romney rejects Obama's debt plan’

Mitt Romney may reject Obama's debt plan - but the Country rejects Mitt Romney. So why cares, other then DN?. Here's something DN forget to tell ya'll about, they are in a feeding frenzy about their "poster boy" Mitt Romney, when the Country is about to crash. That's putting the care before the horse, ya think?.

Dear Chuck,

I want you to know that just a bit ago I sent out a Tweet saying I'll support the compromise plan to end the stalemate over the national debt.

It's not a perfect plan, but it's something I feel we need to have right now. It's going to cut almost $3 trillion from the deficit.

The plan is similar to one I put forth last week, which included some of the concepts you all sent me.

I'm hopeful now that Congress will come together. Also look at the informative chart from the Washington Post that pretty well sums up the compromise plan.

Again, thanks for your thoughts,

Senator,
Bill Nelson

At least I care.

That's more then I can say for them.

My views.

chucky
florida has plenty of it's own problems. you might want to worry about that.

It's just posturing. If Mitt wants to have a chance of nomination he's got to go against everything Obama says and does.

Oh I'm shaking in my boots. Romney objects to the debt plan.

barack's debt plan: spend more money

Practically speaking, is a balanced budget amendment enough? We have a unique opportunity to get things right. Keep the pressure on. Don't cave in.

Good economics is simple. Spend less than you earn, and save some for a rainy day. This applies during good and bad times. Also, invest only in those things that will give us the best ROI (includes social return). Make the ROI metrics visible, and trash programs that don't work. Reward programs with higher ROIs with more investment dollars. This will motivate us to become great at a few things, as opposed to mediocre at many things.

We need a "save xx% budget amendment." The xx% figure needs to be calculated in part based on a plan to pay off our debt.

If you really want a balanced budget amendment, then bring that topic up at the right time and place. This crisis is NOT about future spending but about paying the debts that congress has already contracted for. Pass the ceiling and then take on the other issues if you desire. Lumping them all together has helped create a crisis of our own making and is so silly. Hysteria reigns supreme here.

It's not even a debt PLAN. It's a "pass the buck as fast as you can" plan.

It doesn't even take effect (cuts part) until AFTER the next presidential election.

Political posturing, as usual.

The Dems won't be happy until businesses are paying 21% for their operating loans like they were about '79-'81 under Carter. Remember?? I do - I was there.

Folks - that is where we are headed. You might want to tighten your shorts - real tight. George Soros is pulling the puppet strings. Obama is the puppet.

Think I'm crazy??

You'll be praying we had Romney, or someone like him.

It's time for the Tea Party to start to grapple with debt crises and try to plug loop holes in their budgets about GOP deregulations and tax safe havens where they pay NO TAXES. And dump the taxes on the backs of the middle-class and elderly. The Koch Brother's and the GOP, so It's time today for a six-gun shoot-out between these cattle rustlers and space invaders, and there might even be a temporary peace between the cowboys and Indians as they both take aim at these extraterrestrial uninvited guests. The American people. The tea party and its politicians have no concept that government is a system of give and take, so like spoiled children they pout and fuss and scream to get their way when mommy won't buy them a candy bar in the grocery store, until mommy (in this case the Republican leadership) finally out of embarrasment or fear meekly gives in. The tea party overplayed their hand this time on a piece of meaningless legislation (the money's already been spent) and have so disgusted the average voter that they will soon fade away into the obscure shadows where they belong. Wheres the jobs?.

Mr. Romney didn't say anything about his economic knowledge because he knows the debt ceiling must be raised, alienating him from the tea party extremists.

Great 'leadership' there Romney. Take a stance AFTER the plan is passed.

And Tom in CA | 12:48 p.m., so then, you should remember what happened after '81, right?

Republican President, Ronald Regan got to work TRIPLING our national debt from $1 trillion to $3 trillion dollars.

Even W. only doubled it.

*'Eight years in office, a $10.6 trillion debt' - By David M. Dickson - December 15, 2008 - Washington Times

'President Bush has nearly doubled the national debt during his eight years in the White House.'

Republican plan: spend money.

*'Audit: US can't account for $8.7B in Iraqi funds' - By Tarek El-tablawy - AP - Published by DSNews - 07/27/10

'The funds are separate from the $53 billion allocated by Congress for rebuilding Iraq.'

Mitt already showed his true colors talking about more reckless behavior by his buddies in the BIG BANKS. A vote for Mitt is a vote for another bank bailout.

Haven't we had enough WELFARE for big banks and huge corporations at the expense of the middle class as they ship jobs to China and India?

Romney=Elitist Harvard Big Bank Welfare Politics.

That's easy for Romney to say.

Vague - I would say Mitt is pretty clear - NO debt bill without a balanced budget amendment. What is vague about that? Seems like Moody's and the other rating agencies agree because they are certain to issue a downgrade of our AAA rating without long term assurances of responsible spending procedures (balanced budget amendment). Make no mistake, we are in this mess BECAUSE of Barack Obama's reckless and out of control spending over the past 3 years and the debt that we now face.

Because, golly gee...

things were so much 'better' before.

*'Bush Administration Adds $4 Trillion To National Debt' - by Mark Knoller - CBS News - 09/29/08

'It'll be the 7th time the debt limit (ceiling) has been raised during this administration. In fact it was just two months ago, on July 30, that President Bush signed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act, which contained a provision raising the debt ceiling to $10.615 trillion.'

You can't say Republicans are 'better' at spending with George W. Bush almost DOUBLED the national debt...
and Ronald Regan almost TRIPLED the national debt.

Has Obama done either?

No.

@ Pagan,

You cite all these presidents that raised the debt ceiling, it must have pumped your ego to say that Pres. Reagan did it. Sometimes any organization may incur debt, which isn't always a bad thing. However it's gotten out of hand. BOTH Republicans & Democrats are to blame. However when well informed citizens become active in the Tea Party movement because then want elected officials to take responsibility in handling the money of the people and restore fiscal sanity, they are labeled extremists because they want the Federal Government to live within its means. When is enough enough? Or do we allow the whole system to crash. Come on we have a better country than that. Could it be the liberals are so interested in class envy and warfare they only want it their way?
What we just saw in this so called deal is a band approach to a deep wound. It's time for some real medicine.

And without knowing a darned thing about the debt plan, all the little followers who don't think for themselves will now be against the debt plan, because their friend Mitt is against it.

Of course Romney rejected the debt plan; it was very much a GOP plan. Obama folded and gave the GOP what they wanted, while the GOP was all but holding America hostage. Romney is not right of the middle and hasn't been since taking MA office. Too many people are blinded by the fact that he was a stake president (NINETEEN years ago) to see this.

I wish Romney would just cut the charade and ask Obama to replace Biden with him.
