Mitt Romney says that if elected Congress should wait until he takes office to block automatic spending cuts and to keep tax cuts from expiring. . .

Government analysts say the economy will shrink if Congress doesn't act to prevent the expiration of two major rounds of tax cuts along with automatic spending cuts to the Pentagon and domestic programs.

WAIT WAIT WAIT! DEFINITELY don't do anything good NOW!


===================================

He's treating this like a BUSINESS DEAL! CLEARLY he's not suited for 'government work,' has no idea of the consequences of decisions of a PRESIDENT, Just as PrezO said, in response to question at NATO presser.

1. Of course! The little people can go hungry

for a little while longer.

[sinkingfeeling]

2. Please do. The cuts and tax cut expiration occur 12/31. Even if the

jerk were elected, he wouldn't take office until mid-January. After the fact!

3. IF elected?

There's a screaming panic, wake up in a cold sweat nightmare for you.

4. Middle class will be in big trouble if the Obama tax cuts expire for them.

Congress needs to do what Obama has proposed and extend the Bush tax cuts except for those households making over $250,000--and also extend the payroll tax cuts.

Of course, Romney wants the economy to go off the cliff--so he can fix it with more tax cuts for everyone--particularly those in the top 1%--who will see the big bucks!

5. What a selfish POS he is! eom

[cindyperry2010]

6. yes

[Iliyah]

7. Yea right

You can wait, but the 99% can't. What a selfish asshole.

[SDjack]

8. Mittens has a secret plan, but it will impose so much pain on the 99% that

it can't be revealed until he is installed in the WH.

[elleng]

9. No more secret than any other business deal;

he has no idea about the obligations of a PRESIDENT!

[randome]

10. He clearly doesn't understand markets.

The closer we get to not doing anything by the end of the year, the more the markets will start to dive in anticipation of another GOP nightmare scenario.

[elleng]

14. Worse than that, he doesn't CARE!

'Markets' as a whole wouldn't affect an individual company's prospects, and that's where he's always been, looking at individual companies. But the broader 'markets' clearly affect the prospects for the entire U.S. (and world) economy.

[randome]

16. It's not that he can't relate to people.

He can't even CONCEIVE of people. It's like us trying to relate to leprechauns.

And that's because...Mitt Romney is a unicorn!

11. What a joke.

[McCamy Taylor]

12. Mittens isn't facing starvation on a daily basis.

[spiderpig]

13. Every time I look at a daily quote from him, I swear

my brain explodes.

What a clueless jerk. And I'm being nice today.

[McCamy Taylor]

15. Prince Mittens in the Ivory Tower

Once upon a time, there was a prince named Mittens. Prince Mittens lived in an ivory tower. The tower was so tall that when he looked out his bedroom window, all he could see were clouds. White, fluffy clouds.

[DallasNE]

17. That Is Downright Presumptuous Of Romney

Acting like he is already President in waiting. Also, the more pressing issue is the debt ceiling where Boehner has threatened the credit rating of America by backing out on a previous agreement from just last year. His silence indicates he has put Boehner up to this and that Romney needs to be held accountable for this brinkmanship. Romney is a disaster waiting to happen.
