Multiple Choice Mitt
Monday, January 14, 2008
Tomorrow is Michigan's primary and it will be nice once its over. I am tired of reading about Mitt Romney and his plan to save our state. He attacked McCain for speaking the truth about our manufacturing jobs and seems to think that he can bring them all back.
News Flash Mitt, the jobs are not coming back. In our global economy the one that you support, the one with free trade and no restrictions. The one with little regulation and oversight. This economy is playing a new game and MI has to change and find new areas to compete in, not live in the past. By claiming that you will save MI and bring these jobs back is disingenuous and a downright lie. If you support a free trade policy, you support economies of scale and interaction with other countries who can produce products at a cheaper price. You don't support the unions so the idea of somehow protecting the workers and their jobs doesn't fit in either. The auto industry needs to ween themselves off of the large vehicles and move towards ones that are more fuel efficient and superior to imports. The writing was on the wall years ago but plenty of auto execs ignored this and chose to continue down the same path. You don't support federally mandated fuel standards but somehow want the industry to change. What is it Mitt, if you live by your philosophy, its a eat or be eaten world out there and only the strong survive. Either you support govt intervention or you let the companies figure it out for themselves. You can't have it both ways.
I thought you were the candidate of change, or is that just on your core beliefs the ones that you conveniently switch back and forth between. If you claim that you are bringing back all of our lost manufacturing jobs, you are missing the bigger picture and the need for real change in our state. We need to diversify our economy and bringing back old manufacturing jobs won't help.
So get off your soapbox and get out of our state since you don't have a clue as to what is going on.
