I read your article and found its economic conclusions spot on.
The only problem I see with it is that the American populace—well, at least the ones you spotlighted—cannot and will not make the connection between intrusive government and the loss of their jobs.
To this day I doubt that many have made the connection between Obama’s restrictions on oil drilling and the prices that they have been paying for gasoline.
Thanks for comments, and a couple responses:
First, how do we know what the populace will understand if our guys NEVER actaully tell them? And all during the campaign, Romney and Ryan conceded the point that Obama “inherited” this and that. So yes, the populace is ignorant, and yes, they are willfully so, but NO, we haven’t even tried to reverse it.
Second, all we have to do is flip about 1-2% - to reverse elections. We can never flip 51%, but we don’t have to. I will never buy into the notion that we can’t flip 1-2% - or energize a 3-4% that stayed home, if we ever tried to fight the battle on truth and ideology.
We haven’t tried, since 2010 - and how did that work out?
