Pawlenty’s Economy: A Familiar 'Better Deal'

Harnessing Reaganomics to the Internet revolution, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty will lay out his economic vision for the nation—and his potential presidency—at 11 a.m. EST on Tuesday at the University of Chicago, a bastion of conservative economic academia.

Excerpts of the speech provided to reporters outline an approach to fiscal issues that closely tracks the fiscal austerity program of House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., but his ambitious program of tax cuts exceeds almost every other proposal under consideration. Combined with a business-friendly regulatory policy, Pawlenty says his plan is the path to growth.
