Agreed. It can be done but Romney isn’t bold enough to do what it takes to make it happen.
Instead, we’ll get numbers manipulation.
Instead, we’ll get numbers manipulation.
What he should do is qualify it by saying "If I get to calculate unemployment the way Obama has.", and turn the discussion to how phoney the figures we've been getting really are.

While I’m completely on board over the sentiment about Romney... frankly... even a RINO could probably do what he claimed if only departing from BHO2 policies. But a simple plan for economic recovery wouldn’t even be hard:
1. Kill Obamacare
2. Sign any budget proposal the House comes up with. If the Senate is still D-controlled, then just do it anyway... that’s the way they’ve been doing business the past four years.
3. Lower the capital gains tax.
4. Ease restrictions on energy exploration - fracking, the North Slope/ANWR, Gulf of Mexico.
5. Free the Keystone pipeline
Mix well, cook for 12 months: Instant economy boom.
Now will he do it?
Our Representative is up for re-election. His current mailing lists all the wonderful things he is going to do if re-elected. My question to him if you say you can do all that the next two years, why haven’t you done it the last two years in the Republican controlled house.
To think that things would change quickly and substantially under Romney with pretty much the same people in Congress is pure folly, IMO. Plus I do believe Romney is a proponent of global warming - a strong driver behind all the increased costs, regulations and growth of government.
Doesn't really take bold action to get to a six percent unemployment rate. It's kind of like promising you will get on base once during the first ten baseball games you play. The pledge of six percent unemployment is minimal -- even if you account for a larger workforce due to discouraged workers returning to look for work.
You have to be a true economic incompetent to have an unemployment rate in excess of eight percent two years after a recession ends. You have to *work* to keep the economy this bad. All you have to do is yank the choke-chains on the Federal regulators. If we could open up drilling on Federal lands that alone would generate enough economic activity to get to six percent. Remember when “W” was being derided for a FIVE percent unemployment rate because that was too high to be considered a recovery.
Anyone that thinks that six percent unemployment is unachievable is the definition of someone who has been down so long it's beginning to look like up.
