Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman will unveil his economic plan today in New Hampshire. While the details have yet to be announced, the focus is expected to be on tax and regulatory reform, energy independence, and free trade, though he will also concentrate on the United States’ declining manufacturing base.
Huntsman has so far failed to gain traction in the polls, either nationally or in New Hampshire. The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza calls the economic plan Huntsman’s “last, best shot” to break through. It would make him the first Republican presidential candidate with a detailed jobs program at a time of high unemployment.

I think most candidates are already proposing cutting regulations and tax reform. Does that me they all have job programs?
Here is my job program. Cut taxes, cut regulations, stop immigration, get rid of managed trade agreements that are lopsided. Allow reimportation of all goods. Allow building of new refineries and power plants both coal and nuclear within the year. Allow drilling for oil everywhere.
Gut the Federal government to its Constitutional size.

Here's my job plan: Get rid of Obama, Biden (the fool), and the progressive caucus. Get rid of the regulators, get rid of the EPA, and dismantle most of the cabinet agencies. End welfare; both personal and corporate doles (kids that need care can be sent to orphanges). Send road building and unemployment insurance and their attendant taxes back to the States. Streamline tax system; end Earned Income Tax Credits. Put country on a 50 or 60 year schedule to pay off medicare & Social Security. Privatize federal student loans, crop insurance, FDIC, pension insurance, and flood insurance. End Federal Reserve and tie the Dollar to a basket of gold and other metals. Send illegal immigrants back to their home countries. Privatize TSA passenger screening. Make U.S. a right to work country. End our participation in NATO, IMF, World Bank and all international entanglements. End unfair trade agreements; replace with fair trade agreements. Drill for oil and natural gas on land and sea. Convert coal to gasoline. Withdraw from the U.N. and move operations to Dubai as its anti-Western.

I have long believed that everyday citizens were in general wiser than most politicians. The comments above prove this.
Trying to promote this point in 2008 I ran for President and was tenth in both Iowa and New Hampshire after spending 100 days there visiting 6000 businesses in 242 towns. I am doing so again this year. If only a larger number of us average citizens would run so that by the simple law of probability one of us would win and then we would have some common sense in government.
Thanks for the pointed and correct comments
