Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney said on Friday the U.S. economy needs a shot in the arm to ensure it does not slip into a recession because it is in a "fragile" state.
President George W. Bush is weighing whether to seek an economic stimulus package and leading economists have urged policymakers to find ways to put cash in the hands of middle class families and help homeowners avoid foreclosure.
"I do believe we should take action to keep the economy from falling into a recession," Romney told reporters when asked if a stimulus package was needed. "We do need to forestall the growing credit crisis and the subprime mortgage crisis."
The former Massachusetts governor spent Friday crisscrossing Michigan trying to capture the state's primary, a pivotal state for Romney since he failed to win the Iowa and New Hampshire early nominating contests.
Is Romney just talking? After all, he's just a candidate. There is not much he can do about this right now. He also needs to sound like he cares a lot about the country and he can change the direction. ?
