Voting Today?

This is why I am voting for Mitt Romney today. I hope you’re all able to vote. There are really two primary concerns for me (and I understand that about half of the country disagrees with my view of the current situation--isn't democracy a beautful thing?!?): 1. I am concerned that the economic engine of our country is being damaged by our President. We need jobs today. We need jobs in the future. We can’t help anyone in this country (or the rest of the world) if we have a weak economy and a government that harms business. Most of all, I want my children to be able to find productive jobs. Unfortunately, the current administration seems to have more of an apathy toward business and the business climate of our country--rather than an appreciation for the jobs and income that business provides. 2. I feel that our neglect of the national debt is immoral—we shouldn’t be spending money and expecting the next generations to pay the bills. I feel President Obama has looked the other way and has no real interest in dealing with this crisis. I think it’s obvious that his agenda doesn’t include dealing with the debt. Here’s the way I see it playing out: someday the national debt will have dire consequences—similar to Europe and Greece, our government will have to make some last minute decisions on how to survive. For example, they’ll decide in a matter of days or weeks how Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will be redesigned in the future—that’s no way to lead or manage. I’d prefer that our elected officials act as adults—and craft a manageable plan to save these entitlements—without the pressure of an impending crisis. Things must change and this President has shown little interest in protecting the future of our government or these programs. Those issues are front and center asI head into the voting booth! Dad
