Today's e-mail from the Obama campaign:
Paul Ryan will be Mitt Romney's running mate.
What you need to know right now:
This election is about values, and today Romney doubled down on his commitment to take our country back to the failed policies of the past.
No, you ******* idiOt, this election is about the economy.
It is about how you feel we need to get the economy back on track and at least in picking Ryan, Romney was offering a clear choice between true Reagan values and Roosevelt era stimulus. Why he walked away from it I have no idea.
Personally,
I would side with Obama on that choice not because I think
it will work but mostly because
it will do less damage than the Romney/Ryan approach. Neither model accounts for todays flat world and international capital markets.
As a side note, Trickle down does work. You only have to go to the streets of Shanghai or Bangalore to see it work. The problem is it enriches the top 2% in the US and the educated class in Singapore, Shanghai, and Bangalore. Meanwhile the US middle class gets destroyed.
