"Romney acknowledged that his own health care law in Massachusetts contained the same kind of individual insurance mandate that a judge in Florida found unconstitutional in the federal law, but says he isn’t apologizing for it."

Yeah, this is the same guy who hired illegal immigrants and then opposes amnesty, donated money to Planned Parenthood and then opposes abortion rights, and supported gays before he became a homophobe.

And BTW, here in Massachusetts, his healthcare reform is working just fine and the sky has not fallen.  Are Republicans that stupid to believe such crap from this clown?

Do tax cuts for the wealthy stimulate the economy?

Initial estimates by economists suggested that the overall legislation would reduce the unemployment rate by one-half a percentage point to a full point over the next year, compared with allowing all the tax cuts to expire and passing no new stimulus. By the end of 2012, the decline could be up to 1.5 percentage points, economists said.

Since economists are not always right and they have been wrong so often recently, I am not sure at all if the giveaway to the rich will do anything more than add to the deficit.

While I am no millionaire, with all the uncertainty in the economy, I plan to make no change in my spending during the next year.  Whatever additional money that I have coming in from payroll tax holiday, I simply plan to save and/or invest, and like any other investor, the money might as well end up in foreign stocks.
