Economists are jumping on board to support Mitt Romney’s economic proposals for recovery, jobs, and growth!

A visit to the website EconomistsFor Romney had the count at 650 signatories that, according to The Daily Caller, includes five Nobel Laureates:

“We enthusiastically endorse Governor Mitt Romney’s economic plan to create jobs and restore economic growth while returning America to its tradition of economic freedom,” Economists for Romney’s statement of support reads, proclaiming Romney’s plan as based on “proven principles” to restrain the federal government and expand opportunities in the private sector.

The 526 economists — including Nobel laureates Gary Becker, Robert Lucas, Robert Mundell, Edward Prescott, and Myron Scholes — point to six facets of Romney’s economic approach that they see as beneficial to future economic success.

Reduce marginal tax rates on business and wage incomes and broaden the tax base to increase investment, jobs, and living standards.

End the exploding federal debt by controlling the growth of spending so federal spending does not exceed 20 percent of the economy.

Restructure regulation to end “too big to fail,” improve credit availability to entrepreneurs and small businesses, and increase regulatory accountability, and ensure that all regulations pass rigorous benefit-cost tests.

Improve our Social Security and Medicare programs by reducing their growth to sustainable levels, ensuring their viability over the long term, and protecting those in or near retirement.

Reform our healthcare system to harness market forces and thereby reduce costs and increase quality, empowering patients and doctors, rather than the federal bureaucracy.

Promote energy policies that increase domestic production, enlarge the use of all western hemisphere resources, encourage the use of new technologies, end wasteful subsidies, and rely more on market forces and less on government planners.

Seven of the signatories are from Harvard University and five from Columbia University — two of President Barack Obama’s alma maters.

The economists’ statement of support pillories Obama’s economic record, claiming that his expansion of the federal government has resulted in “anemic economic recovery and high unemployment,” which will continue if his future plans are implemented.

The article goes on to list the Obama policies that they reject and why.

In a related story, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard has an excellent article dispelling the leftist myth that Obama “saved the country” from “the worst recession since the Great Depression”. It is well worth a read! A little tease:

That the president saved us is an empty boast. The Obama camp cites the stimulus package enacted in February 2009 as evidence for the claim. But on inspection, this proof dissolves. The stimulus wasn’t responsible even for halting the recession, much less keeping America out of a depression. The recession officially ended in June 2009–at a time when only a fraction of the $831 billion in stimulus funds had been spent.

We Americans are hungry for economic growth and JOBS! We have suffered long enough on the redistribution policies of president Obama. Economists agree that Romney knows how to create conditions for business to freely engage in commerce, grow their companies and put Americans back to work.

Romney knows what to do to get us working again…leading economists agree! This is the most important issue facing America. We need a strong economy for our families and communities and we need a strong economy to stand strong for freedom. Romney-Ryan is the sensible choice.

Well, yes, Joe…Ryan is much closer to JFK than either you or the redistributionist-in-chief could ever be! You remember this Joe…I know you do!

That condescending smirk of yours is something Jack Kennedy would never do in a public debate.

Thomas Peterffy has put his money where his heart and his vote is. His testimony is meaningful due to his experience and background. Listen children…he speaks to you of your future, God bless him!

The American people are aware of the serious issues that face our nation. The economy and jobs are uppermost in our minds. The threat of terrorist attacks has not improved but has expanded into other nations posing a more complex threat. We need competent serious leaders at the helm. The RNC video below poses an important question…

Thanks to Peggy for bringing this to our attention.

Click here to watch this video about a brave young girl who lives in Pakistan. She was just 14 years old when several men shot her while she rode in a school bus. The motive, she stood up to the Taliban and Muslim extremists belief that all Muslim women should have no education. They think women should be kept barefoot and pregnant, making future zealots for their cause.

This little girls life hangs by a thread, shot in the head and neck, if she recovers she may never be the same person. The Taliban vows to finish the job should she survive, but in the meanwhile they plan to kill her parents and they so said publicly. What kind of monsters are they? The world needs to unite against them and wipe them out.

Malala Yousafzai has become a symbol for women’s rights and education in Pakistan and in many other parts of the world. Her notoriety motivated the Taliban to put two slugs in her to silence her provocative liberal views. They also said they will kill and anyone who shares her views.

I share her views, as does 95% of the world’s population because any reasonably civilized human would, if they were not brainwashed Islamic fundamentalist radicals.

Right now I’m thinking, the Taliban could not be any lower. What kind of sick mentality can approve of the killing of innocent little girls? That is pure evil and whoever could approve of that is lost. Their mind is so polluted there’s no coming back.

If 95% of the world’s reasonable thinking population would go Jihad on the Taliban these vermin would cease to be a problem.
