Romney vs. Obama

a passage by eugene robinson

We know Romney envisions a future in which the U.S. economy returns to full employment, but we have no real idea how all the tax-cutting he proposes is supposed to get us there. We know he promises 12 million new jobs—but we also know that many economists believe the U.S. economy could add that many jobs in the next four years with no policy changes, assuming the recovery gains a little steam.
    
We know what Obama has done in office—averting a depression, saving the auto industry, passing health care reform, ending the war in Iraq, killing Osama bin Laden. But we still don’t have a vivid picture of how Obama sees the next four years. He spells out his policies, but he doesn’t tell us where they lead. .
