The debate Thursday featuring Republican candidates for president was more informative than were some previous debates, but it had too much bickering between candidates. That has been the desire of debate moderators who seem to think controversy gets a larger audience than does information. What American voters need is information on how each candidate proposes to solve the major problems faced by the nation.
There are limits on what a president can accomplish by himself and what can be accomplished only with the consent of Congress. The president cannot alone repeal Obamacare, which is stifling the economy and will add to the debt. He, or she, can relax some of the harmful regulations of the EPA and other federal departments that are huge stumbling blocks to creating jobs and putting people to work. The president acting alone can turn the oil and gas industry loose to make this country energy secure and put hundreds of thousands to work. Other steps that can be taken, some only with congressional action, are restructuring the tax system, especially lowering the tax on corporations form the present 35 per cent. Also, make an arrangement with corporations to bring more than a trillion dollars home and use it to expand and put more people to work.
Romney and Perry must refuse to be drawn into silly arguments of "you said, no I didn't but you said." This comes across as churlish and childish and does not outline for us their economic and foreign policies. Take a page from Newt Gingrich; be an adult, state your plans to solve the nation's problems and be above the frray. That's my advice for every candidate, and I'm offering it free.
