Bad. He's horrible at managing economics. At least Romney would have gotten that issue settled which is more important than the social policies he never delivers.

  • Really? Someone who uses tax loopholes to cut his taxrate by more than 50% would be a good President for the Economy? Someone who hides his money in other countries so it isn't taxed is a good person to look to for economical guidance and clarity?

  • So what? He still managed a multimillion dollar corporation and had a VP candidate who majored in economics. Just because he's greedy doesn't make him a bad economist. Try making up something valid. And he didn't cut his tax rate by 50%.

    It makes him part of the problem so that's pretty valid. You expect him to solve anything when he's taking advantage of the system as it is now?

  • Also, the implication that running a company is anything like running the US Economy is laughable.

  • You have horrible reading comprehension. I never claimed running a company was the same, I was referring to his superior economic experience. I also like how you dodge the fact that Ryan is an economist as well.

    I didn't "dodge" anything. I said that their plan that Ryan backed was discredited by loads of fact-checking organizations as something that didn't work, so clearly Ryan's experiences as an economist (which is a stupid thing to call someone who has knowledge of the field of economics and not even a provable title) didn't help him. Also, if running a company is nothing like running the US economic system via legislation, then how does his background as a businessman help him at all?

  • He did though. He paid 14% when someone of his economic status should've paid well into the 30s. And I just don't trust a PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA who hides money in other countries' banks to avoid paying due taxes to the federal government. In addition, almost every economist out there said that his plan for the economy held no credence and would not work. At least 1 of the 5 sources he always said backed up his plan was a blog on a Conservative website. It simply would not work. On the other hand, if the GOP wasn't the most uncooperative political party in the world, Obama might have been able to pass something like another stimulus package (the first actually worked very well until the money from it ran out and was no longer affecting anything).
