Romney brags about being a businessman. That's what he is, all right, a used car salesman peddling America an economic lemon. The country can't afford four years under a President who claims he'll create 12 million jobs but won't lift a finger to save 170 in Freeport.

Instead of making our tax laws competitive, President Obama continues the tax benefit to off-shore or get rid of jobs. Instead of enforcing our trade laws, like he is sworn to do, the president ignores them.

Don't give us a long-term plan for future Congresses to pay the debt. Start paying it. Cut out the politics and replace the corporate tax with a 6% VAT. Cut spending and start paying for government.

China has a plan and follows its plan, while the Council on Foreign Relations and the Pentagon wait for China to collapse in chaos. China's not the problem. Washington has to stop waiting and whining and get into the trade war.

Obama seems to think that the U.S. with its high standard of living, just has to hunker down and adjust its labor, safety, and environmental regulations downward to meet global competition. Nonsense!

The seriousness of the lagging jobs recovery and our ballooning trade debt demand that strong corrective action be taken now as a top priority.
