Bain Capital is outsourcing jobs to other countries. Mitt credits his experiences at Bain Capital as what gives him the ability to fix our economy. Can you explain how outsourcing jobs to other countries will help improve our economy?
Well, for starters the only jobs he would really be able to create or cut directly would be federal jobs. And...quite frankly I don't see those at risk of being outsourced to China and India XD Reduced, sure. Outsourced, no.
His argument (I think, although he doesn't seem to be being conveyed correctly at all), is that companies are not willing to invest in America. If you can do it cheaper elsewhere, that's where they will go and that's where they are going. That is why China, India, and Brazil are growing. Less regulations, lower taxes, and much lower wages. I don't think American wages should be reduced (they should be raised. Personal debts increasing because you're essentially making less year and year while trying to keep up), however cutting needless red tape and redundancies in regulations (not everything. Regulations and rules are important to keeping the system in check. But streamline it, make things faster and more efficient) or lowering corporate taxes (not income taxes for rich people) should foster a more supposedly "business-friendly" environment that enables America to be competitive on a global scale. More business investment means more jobs. His argument, I think, is about trying to create that kind of environment that on occasion he would edirect companies to (which was not in every case). He knows what made struggling companies profitable, so he wants to emulate it here (hopefully without the social violations).
Obamacare was based on Romneycare. Can you explain why Romney hates Obamacare, even though he was the one that laid the frameworks for it?
Partly because he needs to cater toward the party base during election time. And partly because he thinks it should be a State-run issue, not Federal (which I think is stupid. Think poorer states would actually be able to implement such a thing on their own? No).
Romney said he pressured some of his advisors to find women to fill governmental roles during his time as governor. It was later found out, that he didn't, and his so called 'binders full of women' were actualy made before he was elected governor. Can you explain why he lied about this, and why we should allow him to get away with this?
He lied because he's a politician XD That's what they all do. Does it matter if he commissioned it or not as long as he made use of the collection of qualified resumes?
And really, you can't blame all the spending on Dems. A lot of the spending was because of a decade long war, that Republcians got us into, over reasons that were later proven false.
Indeed. Two wars, unfunded tax cuts, housing bubble burst, economy tanking, initial auto industry and banking bailouts and stimulus. In the first two years of Obama's presidency he didn't get that much done and in the next two... essentially nothing at all, I so I wouldn't blame him for paying what was put on a credit card before. ...at the same time that Obama's done so little (due to Congress), also makes it really damn hard to defend and/or support him.
Personally, I don't think Romney himself would be not better or worse than Obama. The way he's been in these two debates was inline with how he governed in Massachusetts, and not how he has been campaigning all year+. It is more the rest of the of any Republicans that would be elected I'm concerned about.
