[quote=Anonymous][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 [b]46 million people, not "almost 50 million[/b]." 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 [b]Mitt Romney, who views these people as unworthy leeches[/b].[/quote]

46 million versus "almost 50 million" americans on food stamps - same difference - LOTS OF AMERICANS CANNOT AFFORD FOOD - you are so ignorant - what don't you get?  And you think that's great?   :shock:

unemployment JUST SUPPOSEDLY fell below 8% - the 1st time in almost 4 years.  That's still horrible.

WE OWE $16 TRILLION - mostly to China, Japan, England, and a few other countries.  And yes, WE OWE it.  We borrowed it.  It's REAL DEBT.  Sorry if you don't get that either.

As for poverty percentages, some calculate it at 25%.  Others 15%.  Either way, that's really bad - that's averages 1 in 5 Americans in poverty.   :cry:

NEWSFLASH - Mitt has an entire foundation that gives to the poor. He is a philanthropist.  Sorry the mainstream media hid that from you.[/quote]
