Romney wants more military, less govt.
GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney told Florida voters his plan for the White House calls for bigger military, smaller government and less foreign oil.
The former Massachusetts governor, campaigning Tuesday near Jacksonville, Fla., said he plans to use his experience in the private sector to reinvent Beltway bureaucracy, The Jacksonville Times-Union said Wednesday.
"I've learned that talk is cheap. In the private sector if all you do is talk you get fired," Romney said. "I will work very hard to change America for the better."
Romney said he would build the military by 100,000 troops, eliminate taxes on the personal savings of families who earn less than $200,000 annually, and make medical expenses tax deductible, the newspaper said. // Copyright 2007 by United Press International
