Mr. Romney, how would your proposals help us?

    In his speech at the Republican National Convention Romney made the following statement:

    “My promise is to help you and your family.”
    http://nation.foxnews.com/mitt-romney/2012/08/30/mitt-romney-accepts-nomination

    So, taking him at his word he needs to answer some questions:


    1. A family has a mother/father in a nursing home and they cannot afford to pay those bills. Currently Medicaid is keeping that person in the nursing home. How would cutting funding to Medicaid help that family?

    2. A person would like to start a small business, but cannot afford to give up their health insurance. Additionally, their wife, because of a pre-existing condition cannot get any type of health insurance. Currently my insurance covers her, but no one would sell me insurance if I were on my own. How does it help this person and his wife if you kill Obamacare?

    3. You have made an open ended commitment to keeping troops overseas. In fact, you have made noise that you may involve us in conflicts in other countries. How does this help the military families who would face future additional deployments seeing that past and current deployments have pushed them to the edge because of the long separations?

    4. Young people are already struggling paying back educational loans. How does raising the interest on such loans help them?

    Romney's first priority as president is to pay back all his campaign contributors. The global bankers and transnational corporations. He's going to be to busy helping Govcorp Inc. rob from American families to help them.

    Same with Obama. Two peas in a pod.

    Crabby you are like all the leftists, you think money grows on trees. Communist Soviet Union proved that it doesn't happen. The Chinese Communist party, though still totalitarian, were smart enough to realize this and modified their Marxism to embrace some capitalism. Much like tha Nazi of the 30's and 40's!

    They were stupid to vote for Obamma, now they can't get jobs and are paying the price. Hopefully they have learned something in the last 4 years but you are living proof that some people blind themselves with meaningless platitudes!

    Totally off topic. How about answering the questions. How would Romney's decisions help the people mentioned?

    This will not degenerate intothe debate you are seeking here but I will, as an independant voter, make some comments. Being on SS, I pay attention to this issue and the alternative to the Islamic Gentleman that is illegally seated in the Oval Office has already put the beginning of defunding SS in place and with him in office, it will end.

    SS, in the first place, should never have been the first issue you raised because it speaks so loudly to your choice to live as a Gimme. The USSR, the greatest Gimme Government in the world has already demonstrated the, complete, lack of drive to excel in such a society and the loonacy of wuch a government. SS will end at some point in the near future, whether Jesus returns or not, because the Democrats have financed to many wars out of the funding and never repaid neither the withdrawal nor the lost interest. Failure to place another plan into the system will result in total failure.


    You are asking the wrong question. Obama Care cannot succeed and the Democrats, not the foreign born Obama, needs to answer this issue because without a fifty to sixty percent Income Tax or some other incredible tax increase, it can never be funded.

    Now, the matter of success; For this there are a number of examploes to look to. Some are England, Canada and all of the former Communist nations. To this day when the folks that can get Cancer or any of the other killer diseases, they do all they can to get to the US for their medical care because of the quality ofr care. Under Obama Care we will degenerate into the same Abyss because of the total lack of incentive to excell.

    Having been a Small Business Owner and originator, I faced the scenario, to a lessor extent, you have laid out. When you choose to go into business, you work very hard to beat thye odds. That is why I had better model airplanes than most people, I never expected folks to gimme!

    The need for aq study of history and scripture is required here. There will be no peace until Jesus returns to rule and we tried Isolationism once before, see WWII. (No Army, no nation!) (No army, millions more unemployed!!)

    Maybe they will think before making stupid decisions?
