Well it’s not really as simple as that but that is exactly the type of response he gives and will give in the debates.
That doesn’t address the question of why exactly the recovery is so bad - if there even is a recovery at this point. Nor does it point out USING NUMBERS the fact that it is terrible. It doesn’t explain why Obama’s at fault. It doesn’t challenge the FALSE idea that there is some Bush mess that Obama’s still cleaning up. In polls I believe more people still blame Bush for the bad economy than Obama. And it only indirectly disputes the ridiculous idea that Bush’s tax cuts caused the problem.
That is in fact a LOSER’S response. Which I’m starting to conclude is what Romney is.
I don’t agree. “Not because we’re not taxed enough” is a paraphrase of Reagan. By no means is it a full explanation of economic theory of the free market though.
I do agree that much more should have been done by now to refute the meme that Bush economic policies (instead of mortgage devaluation by government action) caused the crash.
I don’t know if it is too late to counter this. And, I think it may well be a mistake to refer back to Bush at all; but rather speak common sense on freedom and free markets.
thanks for your reply.
