Yes, I caught that there was a context behind Rick being asked about the unemployment rate, but he actually said the words, I don’t care about the unemployment rate, that doesn’t matter, blah blah blah, then had to backtrack on what he meant.
Romney is wrong that the economy is improving, if by that you mean the people thrown out of work are getting jobs back.
The housing market continues to crash. Millions of young people are living with their parents because they can’t help it. Growth is anemic at best.
Gasoline prices are through the roof, and people are running up debt again instead of paying it down like they did. The deficit and debt is growing faster than ever.
Rick is wrong to say the economy isn’t the main issue anymore.
What did he say was, the loss of our Freedoms? That is of course absolutely critical, but they are all tied in together. The more people hurt financially, the more they tend to bow down to dependency on government. Food stamps, anyone??
And the main point is, in the minds of most Americans, the economy is still number one.
Newt can handle these complexities the best, the most informative, the most direct, the most reassuring.
Well said.
