Romney’s Jobs Plan: Punts Short, Goes Long on Supply-Side Tax Cuts and Fiscal Austerity

Jared Bernstein has an excellent analysis of the Romney jobs plan -- it's generally more of the same ideas that were proven wrong in the 2000-2008 Bush administration. Supply-side economics benefit the wealthy more than the middle class -- how many times are we going to go down this road expecting a different answer!?

"I pored through Mitt Romeny’s jobs plan last night—it’s a comprehensive piece of work, worth a look. Unfortunately, Mr. Romney offers no solutions for our most pressing short-term problem: high unemployment and the weak job growth. And his long term strategy is based on supply-side measures that have long been associated more with budget deficits and upward wealth redistribution than with job creation."
