I paid attention. They are a scary bunch except for Huntsman. Perry seems a dumber Dubya. Bachmann is a joke. Romney says blows back and forth in the wind. They have no new policies for the economy except lets do more of what Dubya did. Our countries badly needs investment in the country and the GOP just wont do that. They will only invest in thier rich friends and tell everyone else soon you will be one of these people as well.

Please define "investment" ...

If you mean borrowing large sums of money, or taking money out of the economy, and processing it through a bloated, inefficient and corrupt government and then using it to pay off political favours of the governing party I think that is the last thing the economy of the USA needs.

What the United States needs is for the government to get out of the way and allow small businesses to create jobs and grow the economy. Giving sweetheart deals to political allies' green corporation which goes out of business months later is a huge waste, and damaging to the economy.

I always hear about "regulations for small businesses" and yet America usually tops the lists of countries that are best to start a business in (and that's disregarding our economic size)

Which is why i'm always skeptical of the "poor old small businesses," argument, seeing it as a front for the super rich to keep a few more hundred million dollars to themselves
