[/h][h=1]Romney has hired the George W. Bush team of economic and foreign policy advisers.[/h]
Romney's economic advisers, led by Glenn Hubbard, were also George W Bush's economic advisers.
Not surprisingly, they have the same plan: tax cuts for the wealthy, de-regulation, subsidies for oil companies, ending subsidies for alternative energy, tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas and skyrocketing defense spending.
Lurking not too deep behind the surface are plans to hand Social Security to Wall Street.
But, this time the collapse will be worse.
We start from a far less secure position than when President Clinton handed the Republicans surpluses "as far as the eye could see," and, this time, there is no stomach in the Republican party to do anything but let it all fall.
Then, of course, there is Iran.
The neoconistas have wanted to topple the government in Iran for a long time. Iraq was just supposed to be a steppingstone.
President Bush was unable to get Russia and China to join in crippling economic sanctions.
President Obama did.
After Romney's references to Russia, how long after a Romney election is President Putin likely to stick with the sanction regime?
And, once it falls apart, whom do you think will be pretending to be distraught that the only alternative to war has now been removed?
Just take a gander at Romney's foreign policy/national security advisers.
Seventeen of 24 have origins in the Bush Administration who helped lie us into Iraq.
