USA Today - Mitt Romney on Building a Strong Economy.

Op-Ed

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"President Obama didn't cause the recession, but he made it worse and caused it to last longer. From the outset, he inaugurated the most anti-investment, anti-business, anti-jobs policies we have seen since Jimmy Carter. Further, the White House has still not crafted any discernible plan to put Americans back to work.

Creating good, lasting jobs will require the following:

*A tax policy that rewards savings, investment, entrepreneurial risk-taking and exports.

*Free, open and fair access to foreign markets, with a focus on constructive trade reform with China.

*Elimination of the federal bureaucratic and regulatory stranglehold on business.

*A market-driven energy policy that encourages investment in America and reduces our dependence on foreign oil.

*A commitment to fiscal responsibility through budget restraints and entitlement reform."
