Economic
http://myclob.pbwiki.com/economic
You guys all remember; "it’s about the economy, stupid?" Well its probably a good idea for us to study up on Mitt Romney's economic history. Of coarse we all know he was a very successful CEO in investor. He was a baker scholar at Harvard, and has an MBA unlike any other possible 2008 candidate from Harvard.
Perhaps there are some people with degrees in Economics that would like to start Economist for Romney? Or better yet, perhaps there are some people with a little bit of spare time that can help take these somewhat random economic quotes from Romney and help me write a good summery of his economic experience and background that explains his philosophy, his economic plan, and experience.
Romney Quotes with the word :"Economic"
- "it can become a major economic springboard for the Commonwealth by focusing on job creation in the renewable energy sector.”
- "I want an economic development plan tailored to each region of the state, and I want each of those plans to concentrate on bringing more jobs to Massachusetts.”
- “In order to maintain long-term economic growth and prosperity, we must attract and retain talented people to live and work in Massachusetts. To do that, we must not only work harder, but we need to work smarter, to increase the state's housing supply and have it affordable to those across a broad range of incomes.”
- “If Massachusetts is to remain economically strong and competitive, it must have more housing that is affordable to those across a broad range of incomes. This local aid incentive will provide communities with additional funds to offset infrastructure and education expenses associated with a growing population.”
- “This significant commitment of state and federal resources, along with millions of private investment dollars generated through the sale of tax credits, will increase the availability of housing for thousands of Massachusetts families. Through this blend of resources, we can help ease our housing supply shortage while ensuring long-term, economic prosperity for our state.”
- “Over the last decade, the urban crime rate has gone down and urban investment has gone up. This has happened for one simple reason: We now realize that our cities are engines of economic growth. Visualization Technology is a great example of the kind of investment that is bringing the Massachusetts economy back on track.”
- “This financial commitment represents an important blend of public resources which will leverage millions of private dollars and help ease the state’s current housing supply shortage. In doing so, it will also serve as an investment in the future of our economic well being by making Massachusetts an attractive state in which to work and live.”
- He added, “My plan, which is part of the economic development bill I filed, will help businesses grow and give them incentives to stay in our Commonwealth as they move from the lab to the factory floor. My administration is committed to helping companies like Wyeth reach their full potential.”
“Abandoned lots and buildings dot the landscape of our urban areas, diminishing real estate values and posing health and safety concerns to the surrounding communities,” said Romney, speaking at the William Stanley Business Park, a 52-acre brownfield site that was formerly part of General Electric. “We must take action to turn these brownfield sites into successful economic opportunities.”
“These awards recognize the tremendous talent, ambition and hard work that drive new and growing businesses in Massachusetts. The leaders we recognize today demonstrate excellence in entrepreneurship and help create new jobs and economic vitality for the communities they serve.”
- "The economic stimulus bill that I am signing today contains a number of smart investments that will create jobs and help put the Massachusetts economy on the road to long-term economic growth and recovery.”
- “We established this award to acknowledge and celebrate some of the state’s most innovative companies as well as to highlight the creative entrepreneurs who are helping to drive economic growth here in the Commonwealth.”
- “Ranch is a proven leader with tremendous energy and a deep understanding of economic development issues. He will make a strong addition to the team. Job creation is his first priority, but I also look forward to his leadership and advice in a number of areas, including auto insurance reform, workforce development and cutting red tape.”
- "Our economic policies are contributing to the improvement in the Massachusetts employment picture, but we still have more work to do. Holding the line on taxes and creating a business-friendly environment will continue to be among our highest priorities.”
“The Citizens Job Bank will boost economic activity in Massachusetts and help companies grow and thrive. Holding the line on taxes and maintaining a business-friendly environment are among our highest priorities to ensure that more people will be working.”
“The businesses and the jobs that could potentially be created because of this important new law reflect our state’s greatest strength – brainpower. That’s what we bring to the table and that’s what we need to nurture for future job growth and economic success.”
- “If we are to attract new businesses and jobs to Massachusetts, we must be innovative in creating clearer, faster and more predictable paths for economic development. These grants will help us to reach those goals. By targeting development to areas where there is already infrastructure in place, not only can we revitalize our older communities, but we can also curb sprawl as well.”
- “The numbers are clear. Small businesses are not just apart of our economy. They are the engine of economic growth and innovation.”
- “In order to put Massachusetts back to work, the most important thing that government can do is to create the right environment for economic expansion and job growth. This order is one important way we can bring economic development and jobs to Massachusetts.”
- "We cannot continue to have an (educational) excellence gap with the rest of the world and intend to remain the economic superpower and military superpower of the planet. That's just not going to happen. We're in a position where unless we take action, we'll end up being the France of the 21st century: a lot of talk, but not a lot of strength behind it in terms of economic capability."
- Governor Mitt Romney, Boston Globe, November 16, 2005 (quoted from a speech to educators)
- “We need to build more housing to keep our state economically competitive. This bill acknowledges community costs that may be associated with increased housing production.”
- “To generate new jobs, spark economic growth and remain competitive, we need to be smart about how we invest taxpayer dollars in growth and development in Massachusetts. These grants and loans will go a long way towards ensuring a robust economy and prosperous quality of life in the Commonwealth for many years to come.”
"We've lived here now 34 years, raised all five of our sons here, and paid a mountain of taxes here. You don't do that unless you enjoy the state and the economic, social, and cultural opportunities which it provides."
- "The defeat of this radical and violent faction of Islam must be achieved through a combination of American resolve, international effort, and the rejection of violence by moderate, modern, mainstream Muslims." An effective strategy will involve both military and diplomatic actions to support modern Muslim nations. America must help lead a broad-based international coalition that promotes secular education, modern financial and economic policies, international trade, and human rights."
- Governor Mitt Romney, Mitt Romney's Commonwealth PAC
- "China and India have huge populations. There's no reason why they can't emerge as an economic and military superpower in 100 years. We need to be at the leading edge of technology.
- "We're in a position where unless we take action, we'll end up being the France of the 21st century: a lot of talk, but not a lot of strength behind it in terms of economic capability."
- "I'm not happy exporting jobs but we must move ahead in technology and patents. I don't like losing any jobs but we'll see new opportunities created selling products there. We'll have a net net increase in economic activity, just as we did with free trade. It's tempting to want to protect our markets and stay closed. But at some point it all comes crashing down and you're hopelessly left behind. Then you are Russia."
- China and Asia are on the move economically and technologically. They are a family oriented, educated, hard-working, and mercantile people. We must be ready and able to compete. This means ensuring our children are educated to compete in this new market, our trade laws are fair and balanced, and our economy and tax laws welcome new investment. If America acts boldly and swiftly, the emergence of Asia will be an opportunity. Trade and commerce with these huge new economies can further strengthen our economy and propel our growth. If America fails to act, we will be eclipsed.
