#2 I wonder how many of the unemployed who voted for 0 2 years ago are still unemployed. I wonder how many employed people who voted for him are now unemployed. That would make for an interesting poll.
What 0's opponents don't admit is that this will not improve any time soon. A sustained increase in employment is nearly always the last thing to happen in a recession, and there is no reason to expect that pattern will change for this one. Of course admitting this will not win over any voters, the people want an immediate improvement.
If the GOP wins big this year, I see similar headlines in 24 months, this time in the Dems favor. This electorate needs education in the worst way. And whether they like it or not, they will be educated, how much pain they go through is partly up to them, and partly up to our leaders, whoever they wind up being. I think there will be a good deal of pain, no matter who wins. |
