They often think emotionally, which is where you get the ambiguous and feel good campaigns and initiative drives. And of course, the mud-slinging and "the other guy is horrible" BS.<br /><br />Many people are going to be thinking "More money, great, I'll use it to pay rent, bills, food, gas, etc." They are not going to be buying consumer products and lifting the economy that way. Too little money, not enough lift.<br /><br />My first thought on the tax cuts creating jobs was individual cuts or business cuts? Individual cuts no, for the reasons above and business cuts, they just pocket the money or cut prices to compete or whatever. They still ring as much productivity as they can out of what employees they have. Hiring is expensive, and they'll only do it if they have large increases in demand.<br /><br />Yeah, Obama may be the adult in the room (he sure as heck is compared to the idiots in Congress), but he's looking less and less like a LEADER.<br /><br />Is there anyone to challenge him in 2012? That is not looking real good either. If there was a good challenger (for the presidential race or any other), incumbents have to fight for it. Too bad we'll probably get the meh candidate with no real change.brucenoreply@blogger.com
