(4,835 posts)He took action; they started going down. They're making noise about the deficit; he's going to take action.
Romney has tried and tried to make this sluggish economy Obama's fault (failed policies). The deficit and all of the problems that come with it are not an Obama policy. This is the time to make that clear, and this is a way to make that clear.
BTW, these 'job creators' the ones not creating jobs; are screwing themselves over by trying to hold the economy hostage and now they're gonna pay.
He'll do it; the republican plan has cuts to social security and Medicare. They're proud of that. He needs to make it clear that these are the choices:
1) Let the Mitt Romney's of the world keep the fortunes that they make outsourcing your job, and starve grandma.
2) Make the millionaires and billionaires pay as high a percentage of their taxes as working class folks.
It's hardly much of a choice.
