Exactly what will a Romney presidency
look like?
Folks, if one steps back and considers
the thing without built in bias and paying no attention to all the
hoopla, the picture becomes quite clear and sharp.
First, while he seems quite a nice man,
he is not the sort to be especially proactive. I think he will honor
most of the promises he made – sort of. And then I suspect he will
sit back and respond to events.
Clearly he will have to address
Obamacare and I believe he will so do – but not just willy-nilly,
whack it with a hammer and go on. No, I suspect he will more modify
than repeal. Remember, there's a lot of “feel good” stuff in
there that really doesn't do anything. An example is the business of
having insurance cover preexisting conditions. There's really no
reason to repeal that – the market will take care of it.
You find out that you have cancer. You
go straight to your insurance agent. He checks with the company and
tells you they will be happy to cover you. No problem. The premium
will be $25,000 a week. I'm pretty sure you'll find that's how it
works under Obamacare. Why change it. The whole purpose is to be able
to say “We forced the evil insurance companies to cover preexisting
conditions” and Romney can leave it alone and claim “We were able
to keep the preexisting conditions clause.”
No, it may not be all that simple, but
that's the way it has to be. Somebody has to pay.
And there are lots of other things in
there like that. He can leave a lot to mollify the Democrats, and
repeal a lot to satisfy Republicans. None of this is a real problem.
The mandates? Whack them suckers. The
fines? Whack 'em. Kids staying on their parent's programs? What's the
big deal? You want your kid on there? Fine. Here's how much the
premium will be. Will that be cash or credit card? What's the
problem?
The economy? He will okay the Keystone
pipeline in its entirety. Further, he will allow such drilling as is
safe and increase the oversight of that drilling. Coal? Bring it on –
just clean it up the best you can. Natural gas? No problem. Ethanol?
Oops. No subsidies. You want to do it, do it.
I think that pretty much covers it so
now we come to this. What will his presidency be like.
Two things. If you will look
dispassionately at what he will do as President, I think you will
find out that he will not do that much. Why should he? Let congress
do it.
BUT – if you want to see his
presidency the way the people and the world will see it, you will see
the biggest boom this country has ever experienced.
WHAT?
Yes. A massive monster BOOM.
And why? Not because of Romney being
elected. No. Because Obama will be gone, along with all his czars and
cronies.
Look, here's the deal. American
business is not growing in the U.S.
What they are doing is taking in such
profits as they are able to make without U.S. expansion and investing
them in emerging, vibrant, hungry markets overseas. Folks overseas
are getting American jobs, earning American money and spendng it on
American products. This is not a problem, it's a good thing – but –
the problem is that there are not new jobs being created here.
Part of that will be corrected by
turning the fossil fuel folk free. And a huge amount will be
corrected by cleaning up Obamacare. And calming down the regulators
will do a lot. Do we really need the federal government dictating
that our children must eat a salad instead of meat? And making it
against the rules for them to bring food to school? Do we need to
require a $100,000 environmental study before a hospital is allowed
to repaint the inside of their building? Okay, I made that last one
up – but I'm sure you take my point.
We don't need all these new Czars. What
we need is a U.S. Department of Common Sense that every new reg must
go through. And that department should have an unlimited budget for
paper shredders.
Okay, back to the coming boom. Let's
talk about unemployment. Friends, if you are too sorry to work, you
can get unemployment for TWO YEARS so that you can watch TV in your
bathrobe and fish and hunt. In the meantime, employers all over this
country have jobs that they can't fill because the work force doesn't
have to work.
Stop it. It's just that simple.
Twenty-six weeks and you have to apply somewhere four times a day to
get that. If you are offered a job and turn it down, sorry, you're
out of here. Oh, you don't want anything where you have to work on
Thursdays? And you don't want anything where you might get grease on
your shirt? Hey, I hate it for you.
Job training programs. Yes. But not
from the government. That should be a function of the private
industries that want to hire the people. You want machinists? Great.
Hire people with a talent in that area, pay them what they're worth
and teach them how to be machinist helpers. When they learn the
trade, they'll be worth a whole lot more and will be paid
accordingly.
American business is chomping at the
bit to do business in America. Get out of the way and let them do it.
I suspect that Ryan will be put in charge of getting the government
out of the way – and suspect that American business will start
expanding the day a new president takes the oath of office. Romney?
Fine. Ron Paul? Even better. Me? Yeah, that'll work. And what do the
three of us have in common? None of us are Obama.
That my friends is what they're waiting
for. They're not waiting for Romney to move in, they're waiting for
Obama to move out.
And what about housing?
Friend, housing will take care of
itself. You put people back to work and a wave of activity will
start. People who are living on the street will move into campers.
People who live in campers will move into trailers. People who live
in trailers will move into houses. And people who live in houses will
move to bigger, better houses. WHEE.
Wait, we need one thing. And the
incoming president, no matter who he is, will be required (by the
prople) to do it. Let the lending institutions loan money only to
those who will be able to pay it back. In other words, again, GET OUT
OF THE WAY.
Dear heart, I'm talking about a return
to the 50's but with big-screen TV's and high-speed facebook.
And what does it take to get all this?
Just vote Obama out. It's really just that simple.
