Ask How!



Before deciding on a vote for Romney/Ryan, ask yourself how...  How will they be able to cut taxes 20% and still balance the budget.  How will those tax cuts create jobs when they resulted monthly job losses of over 850,000 jobs per month under the previous Republican administration.  How will they offset the loss of revenue if they eliminate taxes on inheritances, dividends and capital gains.  How will they provide for those in need if they cut funding to programs like food stamps.  How will they make the necessary improvements in education if they eliminate funding to the states.  How will they provide insurance for people who do not now have insurance but do have preexisting conditions.   Romney and Ryan have made a lot of promises but have yet to demonstrate the policies that will necessarily be enacted to carry out those promises.  It should be obvious from all of the Republican filibusters that Republicans know that the Obama policies will create jobs and speed up economic recovery.  If the Republics thought these policies would fail, they would allow them to come to a vote so they could point to “failed” democratic policies in future elections.  They are so confident that the Democratic policies will work the Republicans will do everything they can to prevent them from becoming law.  On the other hand, everything Romney has proposed was tried during the administration of Bush 43 and led to the deepest economic downturn since the Great Depression as well as the largest deficit in the country’s history.  The majority of advisers to the Romney administration also served in the Bush 43 administration and crafted the policies and legislation that led to the economic problems we face today.  Why would anyone want to back someone whose policies have been proven failures and whose promises can only lead to more deficits and job losses.  We have experienced government by a business leader.  Business runs on debt and credit.  We need leadership that understands that government runs on taxes.
