Mitt Romney's policies as President

[Lamplighter]

It's not the release of his tax returns or how he treats his dog,
but his philosophy and specific plans that can be examined and evaluated.

I'm assuming that the first topic should be: Jobs, jobs, jobs....
OK, what does Mitt officially say about how he will deal with jobs and economic growth ?

The official Mitt Romney website says this about Romney's "Human Capital Policy":

Mitt's Plan
Mitt Romney sees two important objectives that America can pursue
immediately to build on the extraordinary traditional strengths of its workforce.

The first is to retrain American workers to ensure that they have
the education and skills to match the jobs of today’s economy.
The second is to attract the best and the brightest from around the world.

Retraining Workers
Mitt Romney will approach retraining policy with a conservative mindset that
recognizes it as an area where the federal government is particularly ill-equipped to succeed.
Retraining efforts must be founded upon a partnership that brings together the states
and the private sector. The sprawling federal network of redundant bureaucracies
should be dismantled and the funds used for better purposes.

One particularly promising approach that Romney supports and
believes states should be encouraged to pursue is a system of
Personal Reemployment Accounts for unemployed individuals.
These accounts would facilitate programs that place individuals
directly into companies that provide on-the-job training
—as governor of Massachusetts, Romney helped create just such a program.<snip>

Attracting the Best and the Brightest
To ensure that America continues to lead the world in innovation and economic dynamism,
a Romney administration would press for an immigration policy
designed to maximize America’s economic potential.
The United States needs to attract and retain job creators from wherever they come.
Foreign-born residents with advanced degrees start companies,
create jobs, and drive innovation at an especially high rate.
While lawful immigrants comprise about 8 percent of the population,
immigrants start 16 percent of our top-performing, high-technology companies,
hold the position of CEO or lead engineer in 25 percent of high-tech firms,
and produce over 25 percent of all patent applications filed from the United States.
