There is widespread misconception regarding Obama and the majority of dem voters. They don’t understand economics and actually dislike thinking about economics. Economics are not high on their priority list and are a little unsavory to their way of thinking. Contrary to popular wisdom, dems are more interested in social issues, ethnic identification, and their other quirky beliefs. For typical dems, if it doesn’t hit them on the head, they won’t care about it. They don’t have a clue about the national debt, Greek-like American economic policies, the middle east, the relationship between military strength and peace, health care access, or anything not right in front of them.
I worked for years alongside the social justice progressives at a public institution and they spend a lot of time concocting wildly rediculous accusations to throw at successful Americans with one primary goal—to extract loot. That is the extent of their interest and understanding of economics—you have loot and they want it.
You nailed it. They can see one inch in front of their nose, otherwise forget it.
