[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is obnoxious.  While you fret over Romney's every word trying to fish for something to complain about, most logical people concern themselves with:

- almost 50 million Americans are on food stamps.
- unemployment is over 8%
- the deficit is $16 trillion. Obama added more to it than any other US president.  
- 1/3 of our annual budget is borrowed (adding to the deficit). 
- 1/4 of Americans live in poverty.

Does any of this concern you?[/quote]

Corrections:

-- It's 46 million people, not "almost 50 million." More importantly, the increase is due to aggressive efforts by the Obama administration to get people who needed it to participate. Please explain how that's a bad thing -- would you rather have these people go hungry? More importantly, they're only on them an average of 9 months and, that money circulates back into the economy. I realize nuance messes with your talking points, but try to apply a little critical thinking.

-- Unemployment is now below 8%. That is not disputed. More importantly, as a pp has pointed out, we have job growth where when Obama took office, we had job cuts.

-- The deficit is not $16 trillion. If you don't know how to use these terms correctly, don't participate in these conversations. The national [i]debt[/i] is $16 trillion. Obama's policies have added about $1 trillion to it -- the other $4 trillion can be attributed to the policies of his predecessor (TARP, the wars). All of this assumes that the deficit or debt are even a problem -- they're not. Explain to me why governments have to have balanced budgets? They're not households or businesses.

-- The proportion of Americans living in poverty is not 25%. It's actually about 15%. More to the point, who do you think will do a better job eradicating poverty? Not Mitt Romney, who views these people as unworthy leeches.[/quote]
