Sanity -> RE: 8.3% (8/3/2012 3:02:11 PM)

Number one, Obama uses the military as a part of his reelection campaign, to try to bolster his image as a warrior type - so no points there
And your number two is a lie. Did the Obama campaign give you that misinformation because the Romney plan includes enough spending cuts to offset any revenue reduction which may or may not be caused by letting taxpayers keep more of their own money
Why would you or anyone assume that taking money out of the economy helps the economy? Tax revenues tend to increase when people have money because a good economy generates tax revenues, not the other way around. Taxes are punishing, if you want less of something (such as smoking) tax that thing. You want less wealth, tax it. You want less economy, tax it
And three, whats NOT working, magically or otherwise, is team Obamas approach despite their spin and their lies to the contrary

'Real' Unemployment Rate Shows Far More Jobless
While the national unemployment rate paints a grim picture, a look at individual states and their so-called real jobless rates becomes even more troubling.
The government's most widely publicized unemployment rate measures only those who are out of a job and currently looking for work. It does not count discouraged potential employees who have quit looking, nor those who are underemployed — wanting to work full-time but forced to work part-time.
For that count, the government releases a separate number called the "U-6," which provides a more complete tally of how many people really are out of work.
The numbers in some cases are startling.
Consider: Nevada's U-6 rate is 22.1 percent, up from just 7.6 percent in 2007. Economically troubled California has a 20.3 percent real rate, while Rhode Island is at 18.3 percent, more than double its 8.3 percent rate in 2007...

Romney on the other hand,
has no plan except (1) even MORE spending on an already bloated military
and (2) even MORE tax cuts to further worsen the structural deficit because
(3) even though that hasn't created jobs for 12 years, NOW it's MAGICALLY going to work.
Insanity incarnate.
