If that ain’t a social issue, I don’t know what is.

It's an economic issue Danny.

Government should not be ACTIVELY involved in providing jobs for people, it should get out of the way so that a Free, and Fair market can flourish and provide jobs. This is the approach of Ted Cruz.

This is where Huckabee falls down. He is a Big-Government solutions guy and instead of taking the limited, small government solution to this problem, more often than not, Huckabee will try and legislate away the problem.

Anyway, jobs is an economic issue, the impacts of not having a job, from a spiritual perspective, yes, it is a social issue, and I guess from a corporate perspective, could be considered a social issue.

But I still would counter that stating that the JOBS issue is a social issue is a re-classification by you to support your candidate.

It is an economic issue, but it has ALSO become the biggest social issue. It’s the biggest enabler of big government.

Government sets the rules of the market place. It was government who lowered the import tariffs the founding fathers put in place that has caused our industries to off-shore and flooded our markets with imports. Government can fix that.

And government could eliminate all taxes and all regulations and we still wouldn’t be able to compete with $2/day chinese labor. Only restoring the import tariffs will restore American jobs.

I’m not sure I would say Trump is my candidate. Trump is the only candidate that understands the trade issues at the root of our economic problems.

But he’s far from the social conservative I’d like. I’m just not convinced those posturing as the ultimate conservative are really the social conservative I’d like either.
