The contradiction of a politician touting his local economic success against a national politician running on his opponent's economic failure is one of the funnier things that can happen in a campaign. It takes the talent of a ventriloquist to appear not to be talking out of both sides of your mouth. I wonder if the Florida governor has that talent.
they are actually both right... here is why..I live in Florida for 6 months out of the year. It is not getting much better . Housing is starting to gain some value. Very little value. Now that will probably be erased as the new wave of foreclosures and short sales hit Florida starting this year. I see what is going on . I keep looking at what is coming on the market and value to what is bought.
There are definitely more foreclosures coming. 5 that I know of in a few blocks in my area. This will not make values go up. They might hold their value or go down again, but the values have not come up that much but they have come up and there are lots of buyers to get rid of the foreclosures off the books.
I do not ignore his individual posts. I ignore him all together. The ignore button is a wonderful thing. Every now and then IMO you make some good points and far less apt to make personal attacks instead of discussing the topic, which is why I don't have you on ignore.
The OP was not about whether the economy is better or worse, but about Romney telling a Republican Governor not to say it is getting better because he wants the people in his state to blame everything that is bad on Obama and do dampen the mood.
Before Scott has said, "'Companies are hiring, expanding, putting more Floridians to work,' 'Florida’s unemployment rate continues to get better.' This is not what Romney wants to hear.
Great!
Then you agree the economy is still in the toilet.
I agree with Romney that it is irresponsible to tell people the economy is improving when it clearly is not.
Some are here to deflect. They don't like the OP so they choose to attack posters instead of intelligently talking about the topic. Pay them no mind and consider the source.
Back to the topic. It will be interesting to see what Scott does in Response. At the end of the day, he will probably care more about his own political aspirations than those of Romney.
Record foreclosures, yes.
More people out of work, yes.
Higher unemployment for minorities, teens, yes.
Do you really think $6T in deficits are better?
What exactly is better?
As 'Roy' would say, "you didn't read the article at the link, did you".
