Romney budget

He keeps saying it...
"This President cannot tell us that you're better off today than when he took office." - Mitt Romney

Here's where we were in 2008:

• "Worst financial collapse since the great depression"
• "American workers were laid off in numbers not seen in over three decades"

And here's where we are today...30 months of private sector job growth. Creating 4.6 million new jobs.
We're not there yet. But the real question is: Whose plan is better for you?

The Romney campaign said that it won't "be dictated by fact-checkers"—in other words, they won't be driven by facts. But whether the truth matters in this election isn't up to the Romney campaign, it's up to you.

Mitt Romney tough on China? Romney's companies were called pioneers in shipping U.S. manufacturing jobs overseas. He invested in firms that specialized in relocating jobs to low wadge countries like China. Even today part of Romney's fortune is invested in China. Romney's never stood up to China. All he's done is send them our jobs.

"Over the next few months you have a choice to make. Not just between two political parties or even two people. It's a choice between two very different plans for our country. Governor Romney's plan would cut taxes for the folks at the very top, roll back regulations on big banks, and he says that if we do our economy will grow and everyone will benefit. But you know what?

Voiceover: "Mitt Romney, he won't reveal what's in his taxes and he won't tell you what he'd do to yours. To pay for huge, new tax breaks for millionaires like him, Romney would have to raise taxes on the middle class. Two thousand dollars for a family with children says a non-partisan report. You could lose the deduction for your home mortgage, college tuition, health care.

Doesn't Mitt Romney understand?  We can't rebuild America by tearing down the middle class.

Mitt Romney has chosen Paul Ryan to be his vice presidential candidate. Mr. Ryan is new to the national scene, with out-of-step views from a bygone era.

"Maybe"

Over the course of the campaign, Romney assured the American public that his financial disclosure forms told the full story about his finances. Now we know they didn't -- when he released his 2010 tax returns, he was forced to amend those forms to include his offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and Switzerland. Mitt Romney wants Americans to "just trust him" when he hasn't been forthcoming in his disclosure forms and his running mate, Paul Ryan, has proposed a plan that would reduce his tax burden to less than one percent, while raising taxes on middle class families by an average of more than $2,000? Mitt Romney should come clean with the American public, explain what he's hiding and why he thinks it's fair that middle class Americans should pay far higher tax rates than he pays now and what he would pay under Paul Ryan's plan.

With Mitt Romney attending a fundraiser at the members only Petroleum Club tonight in Midland, TX, he's proving once and for all he's in the tank for Big Oil. Mitt Romney wants to repeal laws that crack down on oil speculators who drive up gas prices at your local pump and would cut investments in clean and renewable energy sources to pay for massive tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
