Keep in mind that the "bankruptcy" that Romney spoke of with GM was a STRUCTURED bankruptcy which is exactly what was done anyway after the govt. bailout.
It's not the same kind of "bankruptcy" that we might think of when you hear that word.
And as I said...that's exactly what was done with GM anyway. It had to be done for them to be able to re-negotiate union contracts, vendor contracts, etc.
As for the 12 million jobs...that one is a no-brainer. The energy industry can provide that right now if it's allowed to. The Keystone pipeline will create that (and all the businesses that will spring up around it).
Also, one of the oil companies just found more oil than all of the middle east combined up in Alaska.
Right now in North Dakota the economy is ROARING like never before. All the strippers are going up there because they are making thousands of dollars a night dancing. There is a shortage of places to stay and you can't find a hotel room that is vacant.
Why? Because of oil.
We have a lot of natural resources here in the U.S. that new technologies have discovered. If we can drill for that in a way that isn't harmful to the environment then we can definitely turn this economy around in a hurry.
Then we could stop forcing the oil companies far out at sea where disasters can happen like a couple of years ago as well.
That's where I think Romney is looking to turn the economy around: Energy.
Not only will that create jobs with the energy companies..but new restaurants, stores, bars, car dealerships, will arise to service those workers all over the country.
