Romney: tax cuts reduce government intervention

Obama: Increase taxes and strengthen financial supervision.

Economy is the unavoidable theme of American election. Faced with an unemployment rate as high as 8.3%, a huge federal deficit and a weak real estate market, Romney dominated the economic card in the campaign. He advocates free market, opposes excessive government intervention, and advocates deficit reduction and tax reduction. Romney emphasized his successful business experience and thought that he was more capable of dealing with economic problems than his rivals.

On this issue, Obama acknowledged the difficult situation, but also stressed that he created 3.5 million jobs in two years. He said that he has made great efforts to support the recovery of the American automobile industry, making GM the world's number one automobile company two years after bankruptcy and promoting economic recovery. Obama said that if he is re-elected, he will continue to follow the economic line focusing on social welfare policies, emphasizing measures such as increasing taxes on the rich and strengthening financial supervision.

The measures taken by the two men to help the economy are quite different. Romney called Obama's campaign slogan "Forward", but it seems that "we have been retreating". Obama said that Romney's economic policy continues the party's "traditional style", that is, safeguarding the interests of large enterprises and high-income people.

health care reform

Romney: Against universal health care? Said to squeeze the capital space of financial projects.

Obama: Support universal health care? Provide protection for the poor to see a doctor

The issue of health care reform has been entangled between the two parties in the United States for three generations. Former US President Bill Clinton said that the government's investment in medical insurance is 17.5%, which is more than most developed countries, but the effect is not good. Medical reform is actually a huge economic problem.

The 20 10 Obamacare reform bill was regarded as a historic move when it was passed by Congress. However, legal proceedings were subsequently instituted in 26 states. Although the Federal Supreme Court found that the main contents of the bill were not unconstitutional, the House of Representatives passed the bill to abolish the bill.

* * * and the party have been trying to completely deny the Obamacare reform bill. Romney said that if he is elected president, he will overturn the bill on the first day. He stressed that if the bill is not abolished, it will greatly occupy the capital space of other federal government projects. The "Ryan medical reform" proposed by his deputy emphasizes the use of market mechanisms for regulation.

However, in Obama's view, universal health insurance is to prevent millions of people from losing the opportunity to treat diseases because of lack of money. The core provision of the health care reform bill is that the federal government has the right to force individuals to participate in insurance. His medical reform thought embodies the tendency of "big government", which is contrary to the "hand of the market" emphasized by Ryan. Therefore, Obama also said that this is the difference between the two parties in medical policy and the choice that voters face in the general election.

diplomacy

Romney: accused of Bush's unilateralism.

Obama: Carrying out Pragmatic Diplomacy with "Smart Strength"

Some analysts said that Romney's remarks on diplomacy were "out of line" and his foreign policy was accused of being quite unilateral. He said that he would resist "the influence of Iran and jihadists" and compare Iran to a "madman", saying that the United States is likely to be "kidnapped" by the country's "nuclear bomb"; Trying to strengthen relations with Israel, calling it America's "closest" ally in the Middle East, and pointing out that Palestine wants to "destroy Israel".

Romney also frequently made remarks attacking Russia, claiming that "Russia is a geopolitical opponent of the United States" and criticizing Obama's "too weak policy toward Russia", which caused dissatisfaction with the Russian government. At the same time, Romney also accused Obama's foreign policy of opening the relationship between the United States and major allies such as Britain and Israel.

Obama emphasized three major diplomatic achievements: fulfilling the promise made in 2008 and basically ending the Iraq war; Kill Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the "9. 1 1" incident; Make a timetable for withdrawing troops from Afghanistan before the end of 20 14. At the beginning of taking office, he started diplomacy with "smart strength", which is considered to have opened up a new diplomatic situation.

From a realistic point of view, Romney has no diplomatic experience, but "speaking out" did not add points to his election. The analysis also said that Obama's ability to handle diplomatic relations is more mature than Romney's.

military affairs

Romney: Maintain a strong military force and send troops if necessary.

Obama: disarmament "returns to the Asia-Pacific region to seek rebalancing"

Romney's foreign policy seems to need to be matched by a tough military policy. In Asia, Romney made it clear that we should maintain a strong military force in the Pacific region. He said, "We should help those partners who want to improve their defense capabilities." On the Syrian issue, he said that "if it is necessary to stop the proliferation of chemical weapons, he will support sending US troops to Syria." All kinds of phenomena show that Romney's military strategy is strongly tough.

Compared with Romney, when Obama appeared at the Pentagon at the beginning of this year, he said that in the next 10 year, the United States will start disarmament, reduce the number of conventional ground troops, eliminate the outdated "Cold War" era system, and strengthen the US military's operational capabilities in intelligence gathering, reconnaissance and surveillance, counter-terrorism and containment of weapons of mass destruction. In June, Defense Minister Panetta announced a new military strategy to promote "rebalancing", saying that the United States would deploy 60% of its naval forces to this region.
