Mitt Romney's incredible Day One
Barb ShellyI am getting pretty excited about Day One of a potential Romney/Ryan administration.
At last night’s debate, Romney said, “On Day One, I will label China a currency manipulator.”
Awesome. And that’s just the start. Romney has also said he would repeal the Affordable Care Act on Day One, or at least grant waivers allowing all 50 states to opt out of the law.
Romney is also going to sign permits to get the Keystone Pipeline going on Day One. He may even get out there and personally start digging, whereever “there” is.
Also on the Day One “to do” list: Order a 5 percent cut in nonsecurity discretionary funding; put a hold on federal regulations that have yet to be implemented, and putting workfare back into welfare, even though work regulations haven’t been taken out of welfare.
Oh, and on Day One, Romney has also said he’ll sit down with Republican and Democratic leaders and enlist their cooperation for the next four years. Will that be before or after he dismantles the Democrats’ signature legislation, health care reform? It would make a difference.
After all that Romney has pledged to do on Day One, you wonder what he’s got in mind for Day Two.

Day Three will be spent looking for the USSR, so we can have someone with whch to have a Cold War. Perhaps he will Google it on his Univac.
Perhaps on Day Four, someone will mention that the guard towers and barbed wire around those Chinese factories are not to keep folks out, but to keep them in. Oh, and those are not exercise trampolines set up there, but suicide nets to catch the depressed 12-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week workers. (Of course, if they really want to die, they could try to start a union, right?)
Day Five he can cut off family planning money to anyone here or abroad who allows abortions and start the process of outlawing abortion, the “morning after pill” and most forms of oral contraception. This will also substantially reduce the size of any binders listing women available for good jobs — what with them all barefoot and pregnant.
Day Six is set aside for golf with his Wall Street buddies. They can whine together about the burdens of wealth.
And, on the Seventh Day? We will all be anxious to pray for the Republic.
