Mitt Romney to Rick Perry: Show Us Your Economic Plan

By: News Desk


After outlining his foreign policy vision Friday at The Citadel, Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney sat down with Judy Woodruff and discussed the war in Afghanistan, his GOP rivals and how he would get more Americans back to work.

In this preview clip, Romney chides GOP rival and Texas Gov. Rick Perry for not releasing his economic plan.

There's one candidate, Gov. Perry, who still hasn't put out an economic plan, no tax proposals, no regulatory proposals, no economic plan to get America working again. He's been in the race for several weeks, so he's following his own calendar. I think [it] may be time to hear from him on an important issue like that.

Tune in to Friday's NewsHour broadcast for more of this interview.
