kickoff with Fred.
Do you agree we are in a recession or headed toward a recession?
No. Economic growth since 2001. Low inflation. Low unemployment. Stock market doing well.
Rosy, but we are spending money we don’t have.
Romney: Invest in technology and research. Fix the schools, as Gingrich has pointed out. Need to do better job of keeping taxes down. Afraid Jennifer was going to put a tax on this debate (crowd reaction)
Giuliani: The free market is a wonderful thing. President can’t be an economic forecaster. President has to work on fundamentals, taxes low, regulations moderation, spending under control, legal reform (2.2% on frivolous lawsuits)
