Mitt Romney will rebuild the foundations of the American economy on the principles of free enterprise, hard work, and innovation. His plan emphasizes critical structural adjustments rather than short-term fixes. It seeks to reduce taxes, spending, regulation, and government programs. It seeks to increase trade, energy production, human capital, and labor flexibility. It relinquishes power to the states instead of claiming to have the solution to every problem.
Any American living through this economic crisis will immediately recognize the severity of the break that Mitt Romney proposes from our current course. He is calling for a fundamental change in Washington's view of how economic growth and prosperity are achieved, how jobs are created, and how government can support these endeavors. It is at once a deeply conservative return to policies that have served our nation well and a highly ambitious departure from the policies of our current leadership. In short, it is a plan to get America back to work.

Mitt Romney has referred to this book as the definitive expression of his economic plan in the Republican candidate debates, so I decided to do some due diligence by reading it.There are 59 recommendations in all, most of which would involve reversing policies of the current Administration. The basic thrust is to slow the big government express and cut the private sector a little slack. Some highlights follow:
TAXES (cut corporate tax rate from 35% to 25%, preserve Bush tax cuts, overhaul tax system longer term); REGULATORY (repeal Obamacare and Dodd-Frank, force regulators to consider costs of complying with new regulations, require Congressional approval of major regulations); TRADE (negotiate more trade agreements, get tough with China); ENERGY (expedite development of untapped US oil and gas reserves, ban EPA regulation of carbon emissions); LABOR (reverse NLRB effort to favor union organization vs. impartially arbitrating labor/management disputes); HUMAN CAPITAL (rationalize federal training programs and block grant them to the states, encourage immigration of well educated people with valuable skills); FISCAL (cut spending and cap it at 20% of GDP, support a balanced budget amendment).
Most of these ideas seem sensible to me, but the difficulties involved are understated in many cases and there is little discussion of how to overcome predictable objections. For example:
#Repealing Obama would take more than an executive order that support should be given to states that wanted to opt out, including offering an alternative program (none is satisfactorily described in the book) that would work better.
#It is said the first step towards "getting the federal debt under control" will be "admitting we have a problem and refusing to allow any more irresponsible borrowing." In, other words, "just say no." Fine, but how would President Romney propose to get the members of Congress on board?
No president could hope to implement more than a fraction of such an agenda, so it might have been better to focus on what Romney regards as the four or five top issues and go into more detail.
The absence of an identified author results in off putting statements like "Mitt Romney says" this and "Mitt Romney proposes" that, which detract from the book's impact.,,An account attributed to Romney would have worked better, even if most readers suspected it was ghost written.
In sum, "Believe in America" marks Romney as a competent manager versus an inspirational leader. Probably that is who he is, but it is not necessarily a recipe for electoral success.

Believe in America Mitt Romney Plan for Jobs and Economic Growth edition by Romney for President Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
A shame the 47 per cent didn't read this, we missed electing a really good man. AMERICA BLEW IT. Let's not make the same one in 2016, HILLARY IS NOT THE SOLUTION, JUST ANOTHER BRANCH OF THE PROBLEM
I'm a sophomore in college right now so I'm too young to remember Newt Gingrich as Speaker of the House. What I've learned in textbooks though is that he and other Republican leaders proposed a "Contract with America" which outlined exactly what congress planned to achieve for the American people. This book is essentially that, only it's 2011 and with the Internet there is more accessibility (and therefore accountability) than ever.
I loved using the 's highlight and notetaking functions for this book. I highlighted the portions with which I agreed, and placed a note next to those with which I disagreed. The ratio of "agree to disagree" for me was 7337, which, for a libertarian such as myself, is a pretty good ratio. My main problems with his assessment weren't necessarily policy-related either. While Romney does an excellent job most of the time citing credible sources, there are times when he pulls statistics out of nowhere or cites an obviously biased source. This is to be expected considering that its a case for his presidency, although I would have liked to have seen more exact source citing.
Overall, this book makes a very strong case for Romney's candidacy, establishing his credibility and exactness of solutions to the nation's problems. If you are voting in the Republican primary, I strongly recommend reading this book, even if you favor another candidate. Romney might just win you over.
Informative.
To be honest, I only got this because it was free. I have not even had the time nor desire to read it. I am only reviewing it because I am OCD and the fact that I had an unreviewed item was driving me crazy. It may be great, but it may be horrible. I gave it three stars because I wanted to be fair.
I'll keep it simple
Easy to read and understand. The charts and diagrams are helpful if you occasionally get stuck in all the other numbers and words. If one just viewed the 14 figures/diagrams in the text, a pretty good illustration of his plan can be formulated.
I'm fairly liberal, yet I liked a lot of his plans. Maybe that goes to show that Mitt's not really a conservative in the 'nouveau-conservative' definition. He sets the tone with a little history in Part I, which I found to be not partisan. In Part II, Romney is very critical of Obama's policies, but not at the hyperbolic levels that he's engaged in now on his campaign stops. In Part III, he lays out his plans for change.
Realistically, I can't imagine ANY President implement or even bring-up in one term the 59 policy proposals that Romney lists. But I do think it is great a candidate has listed it out in writing specific policies for change, similar to Ron Paul's Liberty Defined.
I could vote for the guy that wrote this text. So who's that guy running in public?
It is hard to believe that a man as smart and successful and honest and decent as Mitt Romney could create such pablum and expect this to excite the public to support his candidacy. It did not even excite him, as his son said later, "Dad didn't really want to be President, it was just the next thing on his to do list" or words to that effect.
It was clear, easy to read and understand.
It provided concise, targeted bullet points of the policies that Romney would implement if elected as president.
The best part was that it was released for free so that anyone can read and understand his platform.
Even if you disagree with him, this is exactly the sort of thing every presidential candidate should have released to help inform the voters.
