One of the presidential candidates, Mitt Romney spoke at Western on 8th week Friday.
Romney's speech at Western contained the following
- national debt of %15.5 trillion resulted from poor economic policies
- the next generation should not be forced to take this responsibility
- he knows what it takes to create successful businesses because he is well-off
- banks should not simply take our money for baillouts
- tax cut of 20%
I personally don't believe in the legitimacy of campaigns because it sounds like people say whatsoever to please the public rather than vocalizing what is relevant to their potential actions. If the "next generation" should not contribute in reducing the national debt, then who should? There has been too many times that the president doesn't follow what he promissed his citizens during the campaign.
Do you take these speeches seriously? What do you take out off the candidates' messages and what do you disregard? And What do you think about Romney's views?
The only time I take a candidate seriously is when there is consistency in there message. What I mean by this is when I hear of the main points that these speeches try to get across, I want to find the candidate hitting the points with the same message. Not changing their message or side depending on the audience.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jake. Romney has been known to "flip-flop" his decisions. It's obvious that they want to say what gets them elected and once their in office they might not be as vocal about what they're actually doing.
