I expect Romney plans to do to the US Economy what he did to those companies..

Sell off assets, empty out pension funds (Social Security) and health accounts (medicare & -caid), and arrange for his friends to make out like bandits.

Which Romney fully endorses. Privatize social security and medicare for the benefit of wall street and the insurance companies and cut taxes for his upper crust friends.

themselves. Reminds me of a friend I had as a kid. They had really nothing. I asked his father once why he always voted republican, his answer, "because they know how to make money." And I was about 8, and I wondered WTF to myself. What are they doing for you ...

That is exactly the point.

That's what Rmoney knows how to do.

To expect anything else is ludicrous.
