Well, election day is upon us. Have you chosen who you will vote for? I have, and I will tell you who I would vote for and why.

The person that you should vote for is Mitt Romney. Why? Well, for starters his plan to cut spending has realistic goals. For example, “any turnaround must begin with clear and realistic goals. Optimistic projections cannot wish a problem away, they can only make it worse. As president, Mitt’s goal will be to bring federal spending below 20 percent of GDP, which is in line with the historical trend of 18 to 20 percent by the end of his first term.” Also, Obama's plan failed. “Since President Obama assumed office three years ago, federal spending has accelerated at a pace without precedent in recent history, taking us from an already staggering $3.5 trillion in federal spending in 2010 to a projected $5.6 trillion within the next decade. This sharp rise has been entirely a matter of choice. Even as federal spending remains wholly within our control, Washington is spending money in an out-of-control fashion. Since the 1950s, federal spending as a percentage of GDP has hovered around 20 percent. When President Obama took office, it shot up to 25 percent, a level not seen since World War II. Before the recession, the federal government spent $25,000 per household. That number has now soared past $30,000 and is on track to hit $35,000 within the next decade.” “The Romney plan to reduce spending includes a three-pronged approach including not doing things “the American people can’t afford,” – repealing health care reform, privatizing Amtrak, cutting funding to Planned Parenthood, cutting funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and The Corporation for Public Broadcasting and cutting foreign aid. By cutting Obamacare, the campaign estimates that the federal government will save $95 billion. The additional four programs total $2.6 billion.”

Another reason why you should vote for him is that he has a much better approach to health care than Obama does. For example, “Romney’s Massachusetts plan was limited to the states, it is better tailored to the people of Massachusetts. Obama’s health care plan is an example of Washington overstepping its boundaries because it places a mandate on 100% of Americans.” “The costs are commensurate: Obamacare added a trillion dollars in new health care spending. To pay for it, the law raised taxes by $500 billion on everyone from middle-class families to innovative medical device makers, and then slashed $500 billion from Medicare.” “Mitt will begin by returning states to their proper place in charge of regulating local insurance markets and caring for the poor, uninsured, and chronically ill. States will have both the incentive and the flexibility to experiment, learn from one another, and craft the approaches best suited to their own citizens.” Romney plans to promote free markets and fair competition. Competition drives improvements in efficiency and effectiveness, offering consumers higher quality goods and services at lower cost.  It can have the same effect in the health care system, if given the chance to work.
