This morning on Stephanopolis', the Question was asked of David Ploufe, "Arthie you better off today than you were four years ago?"
Ploufe never answered the Question. Mitt Romney asked the same Question in his RNC Acceptance Speech on Thursday night, and then with that Romney smirk, he replied, something to the effect, "It's Ok, Mitch McConnell and his Republican friends in the Senate made sure that this government was unable to goveren effectively for the last four years." No, I must have misunderstood Mitt's answer.
The Most important question for the Democratic Convention this week will be:
"Are you better off Now, than you were four years ago?"
Democratic Party Leaders better have an answer, and they better be able to discuss the plans for the next four years and the reasons why the last four years have not been better. I think that the answer to the question is that, Yes, we are better off than we were four years ago.
1. The war in Iraq is over.
2. Bin Laden is dead.
3. The Stock Market is up.
4. We are creating new jobs, not losing jobs.
5. We have stopped the increase in medical insurance costs.
6. More people in the USA have medical insurance than ever before.
7. The American automobile industry is stronger than ever.
8. WE are producing more domestic energy than ever.
9. We are working toward new and innovative forms of energy.
Still, wages are frozen for working people. CEO's are making unprecedented profits. The income disparity in the USA is completely skewed.
We Can Do Better. But, not by electing Tea Party and GOP representatives, Senators and Mitt Romney. Change is the best antidote to any economic problems
