Romney: Japanese In Century-Long Decline
Says U.S. doesn’t have to go down that path.
NEW YORK — At a fundraiser this morning, Mitt Romney took a shot at Japan, saying that country’s economic decline is not a path the United States will follow under his leadership.
“We are not Japan,” he told donors at a $2,500-a-plate fundraiser. “We are not going to be a nation that suffers in decline and distress for a decade or a century. We’re on the cusp of a very different economic future than the one people have seen over the past three years.”
UPDATE: A GOP source points out that in 2009, Obama warned of another “Lost Decade” like Japan saw in the 1990s.

dangerouslytalented 9 months agoJapan’s “decline” is still a boom compared to America’s economy. It is more of a plateau than an economic decline, which is what happens when a fast growing economy matures, they already have their bullet trains and electronic toilets and universal healthcare and earthquake proof skyscrapers, it is all built. the Japanese economy found itself without any more room to expand.
