A new Gallup poll shows that when it comes to our economy, most Americans are worried about jobs and unemployment.
Fortunately, 40% of Americans describe themselves as conservative, compared to 21% who describe themselves as liberals. So that leads me to believe that there are about twice as many people out there who do not subscribe to the Obama method of tackling job creation. Conservatives believe that if government just got out of the way of the private sector and let it tackle the jobs issue jobs would be created and unemployment numbers would improve. America’s private sector economy is what has brought this nation to be the world’s largest economy, a leader in innovation and a model for economic growth.
Obama has added over 45,696 pages to the federal registrar – more regulations getting in the way of job creation. He has proposed 408 government regulations that could have an economic impact of $100 million or more on businesses. Between this amount of regulation and the threat of tax increases, is it any wonder why business owners aren’t hiring new employees?
Second to jobs and the economy, people were worried about our national debt and the budget deficit. Just yesterday, Obama recently asked for another $1.2 trillion to raise our debt ceiling. Obama has incurred more national debt than George Washington to George H.W. Bush combined. He has increased the debt by 42% since taking office, to the current level of $15.1 trillion. According to the New York Times, “Debt held by the public, considered by many economists to be the more significant indicator, is 65 percent higher now than in January 2009.” Americans have a right to be worried that we are approaching the point of no return. We might be there already.

U.S. Decline In Economic Freedom Threatens Prosperity
"Restoring the U.S. economy to the status of a free economy," the report says, "will require significant policy changes to reduce the size of government, overhaul the tax system and transform costly entitlement programs," among a number of other things.
Yeah, but if you go to states like South Carolina, the rednecks are more worried about "gay marriage" than the job they just lost. This is the mindset of many in the South and Midwest. How else would you explain Bush being elected twice.
40% of Americans describe themselves as conservative....
unfortunately, 83% of Republican candidates for President incorrectly describe themselves as conservative.
The term "conservative" is relative. And compared to Obama, the GOP candidates are right of John Birch.
Hey, all I want is a free market, an honest government, and for my taxes to go to a good infrasturcture, roads, schools, and social safety net. No socialsm. No corporate cronyism. No welfare state.
It sucks ....this political arena we're in. We're ALL idiots for even trying to participate, as if we are taking part in the great American Democratic process and actually dictating our own course.
It's gone people - has been for a long time. The only thing left is smoke and mirrors. And obama and romney are NOT alike.
