Northwest Indiana Discussion

That LIE was debunked a long time ago, LOL.

So in your mind Mitch should get criticized for investing his own money overseas but it's ok for DUMBO gives $2 billion of US taxpayers money to a Brazilian oil company. Then tell us how much we look forward to being a customer....

Romney Suggests Releasing Additional Tax Returns Could Be Politically Damaging

By Igor Volsky on Jul 16, 2012 at 9:23 am


Mitt Romney appeared on Fox & Friends Monday morning to respond to the growing number of conservatives who are calling on the former Massachusetts governor to release more of his tax returns.

At least eight Republicans have urged Romney to publicize the records and put the issue behind him, but the candidate is sticking to his guns. The public will see just two years of returns and no more, Romney said, before appearing to admit that the records may contain something politically damaging:

ROMNEY: The Obama people keep on wanting more and more and more. More things to pick through, more things for their opposition research to try make a mountain out of and to distort and to be dishonest about. We’re going to put out two years of tax returns.

Republicans are also raising alarms about Romney’s returns. “The fact is, there are a couple of years he may not have paid any taxes,” MSNBC host and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough predicted during Monday’s Morning Joe. “Maybe he’s concerned about that. But if it’s going to come out, he needs to get it out now so he has a couple of months to explain it

WOLFEBORO, N.H. (AP) —
Mitt Romney demanded Monday that President Barack Obama back away from his persistent attacks on Romney's record at Bain Capital, advising that it would be better "if you spent some time speaking about your record."

Romney-economist Greg Mankiw wants a further $2/gallon gas tax?

Posted at 11:44 am on March 8, 2012

As the price of gasoline soars, top Mitt Romney adviser, Harvard economist Greg Mankiw sticks to his guns and calls for a hike in gasoline taxes. In a recent blog post, Mankiw points to a WaPo column which states:

N. Gregory Mankiw, former top economic adviser to President George W. Bush and current adviser to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, also backs a stiff gas tax increase… In a New York Times column this year, Mr. Mankiw offered a tax overhaul that might include a gas tax “exceeding” $2 per gallon.

I don’t think that’s going to be too popular. It’s not clear from that snippet that he’s adding an additional $2 on top of what’s already there, but if that’s what he’s proposing, Romney’s got some explaining to do. Not much more to that post, but good snark at the end.

Former Romney Partner At Bain Makes Case For Outsourcing
By Rebecca Leber on Jul 15, 2012 at 11:00 am

Mitt Romney’s former company Bain Capital has a spotted history of investing in companies that offshored jobs overseas to countries like China. At the same time Romney blasts outsourcing on the campaign trail, calling President Obama “outsourcer-in-chief,” his former partners at Bain have defended the practice.

Appearing on MSNBC’s “Up With Chris Hayes,” Romney’s former partner at Bain Capital Edward Conard made the case for outsourcing jobs, which he argues in his book, “Unintended Consequence”:
Watch the video:
Meanwhile, Romney’s top economic adviser Greg Mankiw has also argued for outsourcing jobs, calling it “a good thing.” As another Bain manager explained, “I never thought of what I do for a living as job creation.” Romney’s role at Bain was to create wealth for his firm, not jobs.

Remember back in 2010, DUMBO proclaimed that there was going to be good jobs for all of the aerospace workers?

House GOP unveils cuts to NASA, science funding

By Erik Wasson - 04/18/12
The House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday proposed cutting Commerce, Justice and Science-related agencies by $1.6 billion next year, as part of an effort to shave $19 billion in total 2013 spending compared to the levels agreed to with Democrats last August.

The 2013 Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) appropriations bill contains $51.1 billion in funding, $731 million below what President Obama requested. On Tuesday, a Senate subcommittee passed a bill at the level of the president's request.

Glad you asked, here ya go genius:

You can always tell you have won an argument when ole' stupid has to go to the echo chamber.

So what did that have to with DUMBO promising them employment?
