Just plain stupid.

Editor,

Republican economic philosophy since Ronald Reagan is: "It's every man for himself."

No regulations on corporations. Unrestrained predation by corporations of the environment and labor. No safety net for the young, the weak, the poor, the sick. No taxes on the rich. No money for public education, health care, libraries, parks. Legislative support for sleazy scams by financial industry sharpies.

So to hear Republicans blast Romney because he introduced into companies what Republicans call "efficiency" and "productivity" and "profitability" by gutting them, laying off workers, destroying local economies, and off-shoring jobs is beyond ironic.

Romney's critics are complaining because Bain didn't "make" anything, but if a company like GE, for example, which does "make" things employs exactly the capitalist techniques that Bain did, that makes destroying workers lives OK.

Republicans' analysis of Bain is beyond hypocritical. It is just plain stupid.
