Mitt Romney now has the momentum and for a great reason. 165 million people who watched the debate saw Obama as he really is w/o a teleprompter, an empty suit who couldn't defend his failures as president. Mitt took him to task which no one, including the media has not done in 4 years.
The only thing Obama could do is look down at his feet, not looking his accuser in the eye. Now, after the debate, Obama blames his performance on Romney telling so many lies. Its a pathetic attempt to push the same old crap on his followers.
Its not my fault, its Bush's fault, and its that film maker who made that antimuslim movie fault. Obama is full of excrement if you ask me. Romney speech at VMI (excerpt): Sir Winston Churchill once said of George Marshall: “He … always fought victoriously against defeatism, discouragement, and disillusion.”
That is the role our friends want America to play again. And it is the role we must play.
Those who defend Obama’s anemic economic recovery don’t seem to have a sense of how economies usually work after recessions. Typical recoveries from recessions, even ones fundamentally worse off than this one, start as soon as the recession is over. We are now in month 38 of "recovery".
The actual recession ended in July 2009. This, over two years after the declaration of “Recovery Summer” by the Administration. Administrations don't do this unless they actually think their policies are ready to work.
Why didn’t it? Because of the business-hostile environment the Obama Administration has created. The constant threats of tax hikes (2/3 of small business and their owners are effected by the high-end Bush tax cut extensions), the machine gun of regulatory red-tape spewing out from Washington, a pathological hatred of oil, coal or anything that does not fit the utopian ideal of "green" energy, blowing past and even accelerating past the "bridge out" signs in respect to the debt 5 trillion dollars ago and treating corporations as if they are some fire-breathing dragon that must be slain, all contribute to keeping the recovery from happening, business expansion from happening thus, creating jobs.
In short, his well-intentioned, Egalitarian, Utopian political philosophy and policies that come from it are incompatible with the needs of business, the economy, sharp recovery and a robust economic future. This recovery has more in common with sluggish European economies that have the many of the attributes above. The results are not accidental.
This is our future with Obama. Any job creation that has been going on has little to do with Obama policy and everything to do with the doggedness of business to survive and claw it's way back to profitability, regardless of what roadblocks are put in it's way. Unlike Obama, Romney brings actual business experience and economic understanding to the office.
He also comes in with chief executive managerial experience from business and political office. This is an asset in running a huge bureaucracy. Unlike Obama, he will actually put a budget in place for running the country.
We haven't been running under a budget since Obama took office! Budgets are what fiscally responsible people work in. They Ryan budget, which he endorses, has the courage to deal with the 800 pound gorilla in the room namely, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
These are ALL going bankrupt, increasing in cost, are bureaucratic, riddled with fraud and waste and full of red tape. He will reform them, making them cost efficient and cutting out a big part that drives our deficits and debt. A more dangerous long-term consequence of Obama remaining in power is his view of the relation between government, society and the economy.
He has the European view of a Statist/Socialistic Democratic view where government in involved in all aspects of society and the economy every place it sees some perceived “inequity” that must be smoothed out. This is leading to government thinking it should be the well-intended solution to every problem. It leads to cradle-to-grave services that are a one-size-fits-all bureaucracy, becoming more and more limiting and stifling free-market solutions until there’s only the government to turn too.
Name one service the government does well that the free market can’t do better. One might initially like being taken care of but, like the child that is taken care of, life is dominated by a well-intentioned government (parents) always there, telling them what to do and when to do it. There is neither liberty nor room for growth.
This also requires huge government addicted to spending. Countries, like the US, that are on this path are also on the path to bankruptcy and financial ruin. Business confidence, which is rock bottom, will start rebounding the moment Romney is elected.
He will end the business-hostile environment and allow for the boom in the oil market that is straining to happen. He will push for simplifying the tax code and stop the knee-jerk regulatory red tape, all helping small business. He will cut the corporate tax (currently, the highest in the world).
This will end much of the outsourcing and be a boost to business. Too many Liberals have this idea that if you are not punishing big business (for some reason), then you are pandering to them. I could fill up a whole post on how Conservative tax policy has worked whenever tried.
Harding, Coolidge, JFK (posthumously), Reagan, Clinton (cap gain tax cut) and Bush (tax cuts) are all brief examples of this success. These are all lessons from the past Democrats never learned and would rather you not know either.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
