If Jack the Ripper favored Full Employment...

All candidates say they want lower unemployment, of course.

No candidate has proposd policies to acheive anything like full employment.

There are policies that would achieve full employment and no candidate has proposed any of them.

So the question answers itself.

That does not mean that all the candidates have the same views or credility on unemployment

President Obama's jobs program is a drop in the bucket. Mitt Romney's jobs program is a HOLE in the bucket.

For someone concerned about unemployment it is easy to chose between them.

And that is what makes this ongoing kerfuffle so weird. President Obama is overall BETTER than the alternatives. That does not make it incorrect to say that he is flawed. I like the president. I would like him evn more if he effectively opposed the harassment of pot clinics.

But that is not on the menu, and as an adult I incorprate that and act accordingly choosing between real alternatives (while making my views known, whether they are represented by our practical political alternatives or not.)
