“...We don’t have a money problem, we have a moral problem...”
True that, and I agree with you; however, the vast majority of the viewing public have no understanding of that - or worse - don’t care; they DO know and care, however, that their wallets and pocketbooks are getting raped, that their paychecks are getting raped, and their life savings are getting pilfered. And that is the issue at question for many, many people.
No one person is going to change the moral course of the nation, but he can indeed put the brakes on the slide into financial oblivion if he knows how to handle the economy and the numbers. And to my mind if we get a grip on the one, we can start to repair the other.
But we have be in the driver seat first...
And the place to debate the moral issue is definitely NOT with a panel of leftist/liberal lunatic moderators intent on making our candidates look like religious zealots in front of TV cameras at every opportunity.
To my mind, when they do the misdirect, our side should drag them back to the issue of the miserable failure of their party and their guy and the financial chaos they’ve caused. Every time they do it, remind them that those side/social issues do NOT put people back to work.
Just my take on it.
You are right, economy/money is almost always the overriding issue in every election.
