Harry Reid Thinks You’re This Dumb

September 4th, 2012 · No Comments

$5.4 Trillion in additional debt.  23 million un- or underemployed people.  Jihadists taking over the Middle East after the “Arab Spring”.  A trillion dollars (give or take) spent on economic stimulus that resulted in a significantly higher unemployment rate than we were told would result if NO money was spent.  Solyndra and its failed ilk.  An auto company takeover/bailout that lost $25 Billion tax dollars.  An average GDP growth rate of just 2.2% (half the historical post-war post-recession average) since July 2009 (with no improvement in sight). Expansion of already unsustainable entitlement spending, along with the largest middle class tax hike in history (aka Obamacare). Gas prices above $4 per gallon around the country. Median household income declining by 7.3% since Obama’s tenure. A record 46.7 million Americans on food stamps.  An entire Presidential Administration that has never once passed a budget.

And Harry Reid wants us to believe Mitt Romney’s tax returns is the most compelling issue in this election?

This was not the presentation of a serious man, or the priorities of a serious party.

Keep it up, guys.  Keep telling the American people what your priorities are – and aren’t.
