Rick Perry's Lesser-Known First Book Could Be A Distraction From Economy-Centered Message

This week, I listened to the Republican Presidenti­al Debate and President Obama’s speech to Congress. The two parties views are starkly different on job creation, health care reform, social security, Medicaid, Medicare, corporate regulation­s, etc.



President Obama summed up the Republican prospectiv­e well when he said the following. “In fact, this larger notion that the only thing we can do to restore prosperity is just dismantle government­, refund everyone’s money, let everyone write their own rules, and tell everyone they’re on their own – that’s not who we are. That’s not the story of America.”



Essentiall­y, Republican­s believe that the answer to all of America’s problems is laissez-fa­ire capitalism­, deregulati­on and tax breaks for the richest Americans. They support ending government programs that are vital lifelines for the poor and elderly. Their solution to poverty and unemployme­nt is welfare reform, i.e. kicking poor people off welfare and forcing them to fend for themselves in this harsh economy where jobs are scarce. By the way, several of the Republican candidates even support ending the minimum wage.
