Take Romney's idea that the lame duck Congress and a POTUS who may or may not have been re-elected by the time Congress re-convenes after the election should simply let the $7 billion in thoughtless spending cuts and tax increases "happen". That may actually occur, but for any responsible candidate to embrace such an idea is looney tunes. If that happens, stay tuned for a major nose-dive in the financial markets, another cut in the U.S. debt rating, and our modest economic recovery immediately slammed into a double dip recession. And a lot of that will be well underway and irreversible by the time the POTUS, whoever he is, is inaugurated on January 20.

Romney's embrace of such an idea suggests that his business experience isn't serving him too well in considering the needs of the largest economy in the world.

Watch.
