Romney following through with his promise of creating 12 million jobs and immediately after saying "Government doesn't create jobs". Right.....I feel like he randomly picked that number and went with it
Don't get me wrong, if he was consistent with his policies, he could do a great job with the economy. But his constant flip flopping on issues brings about a level of uncertainty and I believe that is the last thing we need right now.
I'm very far from a political or economic expert so bear with me. But these are just some ideas I had going through my head in the last couple weeks
I'm voting for Obama because there has been slow, but steady growth. Let him finish it out. Bringing in a new president with new policies is just going to further slow down our growth. People expect this economy to be fixed in 4 years? The Great Depression took almost a decade to fix and we might not have gotten out of it if it wasn't for the War and the abundance of manufacturing jobs.
You're absolutely right, it does take a long time, and to be honest with you, there are an ENORMOUS amount of variables that go into the economy growing equation. And, I see your point about slowing driving the economy in the right direction, but my question to you is, if there is potential for better, would you go with it? If someone promises something, but missed on that goal, is that ok? I can understand about giving Obama more time, but the thing is he missed the goal, not necessarily going to other direction, but he did miss...
But hear me out for this 1 point, I personally think it's a fair point, just hear me out, and it is absolutely OK to disagree. One thing Mitt Romney gets heat for is outsourcing jobs. I trust me, I do not support the act, but one big point that i think people need to recognize is that his goal was different compared to many other peoples' goals. For example, if my goal today was to mow the lawn or take out the trash, and I do it, I've accomplished my goals, right?
This will def. come with some heat, so I'm ready... But Mitt Romney's goal as CEO or in a leadership position at Bain wasn't to create jobs, it wasn't to keep them in America, it wasn't to be nice, to be charitable. His goal was to drive shareholder value. It's really that... It might not be the greatest goal, or most admirable. But looking from a larger broader scale, he accomplished his goal. His shareholders made money, he accomplished his goals. Now, being president I'm going to assume he'll have a different scope, and not trying to maximize Shareholder Value. That's why I think he'll be successful at whatever he does. That's why he has my trust.
Most Americans don't like seeing the far right.. Internet censorship, teachers needing to take oaths, and public prayers... comeon man.
