Romney Unveils 5-Point Plan To Fix Economy During Colorado Campaign Stop

GOLDEN, Colo. (CBS4)- Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney used a campaign stop in Colorado to unveil a five point plan to fix the economy.

Romney made stops in Golden and Basalt on Thursday talking to thousands of Coloradans.

He spoke at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Golden at about 11:45 a.m. Thursday. Romney stopped in Basalt Thursday afternoon.

"What I want to lay out for you specifically what we're going to do. It's five things," said Romney.

He called it "The Romney Plan for a Stronger Middle Class" and outlined a strategy that included energy independence, improving education, increasing trade, lowering the deficit and helping small business.

"I'm also going to do something that is scaring the heck out of small business and that is we've got to get rid of Obamacare," said Romney.

Romney also handed out a report card that graded the president on his efforts during his first term in the White House. He also took time to highlight his business experience and how that will translate to every American.
