Mitt in Poland
Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney made a speech in Poland today extolling the Polish economic system and the virtues of free enterprise and private industry which have made the Polish economy so robust. He failed to mention, of course, the very good Polish health care system, a government-run program in which all workers are required to participate, or the national pension system which guarantees retirement income. Seems that in Poland, at least, mandatory social programs can co-exist nicely with a capitalist economy. Evidently Mitt doesn't wants us to notice that part of the equation.
