Fraud Alert. Romney's Economic Plan unveiled on Fareed Zakaria GPS

Chrystia Freeland believes (her words are the Truth that dare not be spoken on Wall St.) if Romney is elected, he will say yes to tax cuts, deficits won't matter, and a new round of Stimulus spending will be put into place to get the economy moving and that the GOP will not be concerned with the deficits and that the Dems would be willing to go along with it to get the economy moving.

If this happens, the last four years will be the biggest fraud perpatrated against the American people in my lifetime. The whole debt debacle and the Tea Party cut government spending mantra will have been a farce.

...this "two Santa Claus" principle has been the repubi-con plan for decades.
Please reference Thom Hartmann for full particulars of this repugnant hypocrisy.

that the US is projected to grow at the fastest rate of any of the industrialized nations over the next 4 year; this includes all of Europe which is projected to have negative growth, and China also who is projected for negative growth over the next 4 years.

The US will have the fastest rate of growth based on policies put into place by the Federal Reserve to stimulate our economy and Europe's austerity programs are projected to hurt their economies.

Every repub in the last 40 years or so has increased the deficit to stimulate the economy and give their pals tax cuts. And Dems go along because they think they won't get blamed for spending while knowing it's needed. What Dems miss is that while the repubs are in office they keep certain expenditures (like wars) off the record so the deficit looks low. Then a Dem gets in office and adds on those expenditures and it makes the deficit look huge in a short amount of time.
