Well, technically it isn’t MY exclusive interview with Mitt Romney as much as it is Time Magazine’s. But it is exclusive and it is and interview, and I really don’t think any of you should be judging me right now.
On to the matter at hand. While Newt Gingrich rocks the Sunday Morning talk show circuit and Michael Steele fires up the grassroots, Mitt Romney seems to be the GOP leader to go to for a comment or two on the economy. The reasoning is pretty obvious, what with him being a perennial 2012 candidate and a cat who knows a think or two aboot makin’ that paper.
Here’s what The Man They Call Mitt had to say aboot the crap sandwich all the kids are calling the Great Fiscal Suicide Act of 2009 (aka stimulus)…
... rather than proposing and driving through Congress his own economic stimulus plan, President Obama ceded the construction to House Democrats. They in turn have come up with a pork-laden, ineffective piece of legislation which I think Americans are increasingly recognizing will not solve the economic challenges we face.
I do think a stimulus bill is needed. It has been demonstrated time and again that returning money to taxpayers in the form of a tax reduction has the most bang for the buck. If there’s going to be federal spending, it should be devoted exclusively to very high-priority, urgent projects that can be completed on a rapid basis.
He mention he’s working on his book, which is less aboot a future presidential run than it is a discussion of the economic and foreign policy challenges that we face…which means it’s totally aboot a future presidential run.
The question now is, do we want Romney-Jindal or Romney-Sanford?
