Romney is a conservative on debt

Page history last edited by PBworks 17 years, 2 months ago

Romney is a conservative on debt.

Reasons to agree

  1. "The Federal government must stop its borrowing and spending binge. The debt is a burden on our economy, our currency, our foreign policy, and our future. This is beyond pork barrel spending. We must address entitlement programs – not just to save money – but to give Americans confidence in their future." - Governor Mitt Romney's PAC
  2. 03-15-2005; GOVERNOR ROMNEY ANNOUNCES BOND RATING UPGRADE FOR COMMONWEALTH’S DEBT; Represents first upgrade of general obligation bonds since 2000
  3. "They paid back all the loans, all the debts that their family business had incurred before they went on to their own successful careers." Governor Mitt Romney speaking of his dad.
  4. "When I was running for office I had a debate as you may recall, actually five of them. Don't know whether you saw the one where Tim Russert was the moderator. He wondered how we were going to be able to close a $1 billion budget gap. And I had to lay out what my plans were for doing so. When I got in office, my Secretary of Finance came to me and said, I've got great news and bad news. The great news is we don't have a one billion budget gap. The bad news is we have a $3 billion budget gap. And there were some people that said all we have to do is raise taxes. And I said, look, if you raise taxes you kill jobs and you hurt working families. There were some other people that said why don't we just raise debt. We can just borrow our way out of this. But if you raise debt you just put our problems on the backs of our kids. I said no, we're going to go back to government, we're going to cut out the waste and inefficiency and duplication. We're going to do the job we were elected to do. And Republicans and Democrats came together and made a lot of that happen." - Governor Mitt Romney at the NH Federation of Republican Women's Lilac Dinner
