Re: SGG's What's Your Issue Poll
Issues related to economics drive about 75% of my voting decision.
The rate at which the economy grows has a profound effect on our lives, there's a trickle-down or ripple effect. Strong GDP growth leads to: - more jobs - more people who can afford healthcare - more citizens with portfolios that most would consider reliable sources of retirement income (mitigating the impending social security disaster) - more tax revenue to the federal government (the higher the profits of big business, the more taxes they pay) - stronger currency - and GDP growth helps mitigate the consequences of the federal deficit I think the economy is the issue of which Americans have the poorest understanding, BY FAR. And yet it's by far the most important to our children's future and our own well-being in the present. Figures the salary cap nerd would say the economy, LOL. But what can I say, money talks.
