The economy was polled as the numero uno concern of americans, even higher than the war.

Problem is that most people don't understand the economy. They believe that if the Dow is up, then everything is fine, failing to see the dollar, the trade deficit. Fox news tells them "productivity is up", but they don't tell the people that productivity is only the efficency with which a product is produced. While Production is the amount of product produced, and since we don't produce as much, we have a huge trade deficit. We fall short, fed prints money to make up the difference, yada yada. Anyway, I may have oversimplified.

What I'd hope all of you do is inject some econ talk when you plug RP. It's easy to do, since it's all interconnected, mention the war, explain what it is doing to our pocket books. Virtually everything you say can be tied into the economy.

The last video I made came out at a good time, since most people only look at the dow as an indicator, show them what happened to day. http://www.bloomberg.com/index.html?Intro=intro3

Nice job Avaroth. Absolutely correct.

It is all inter-related. RP's the only man in DC who understands what a mess the economy is in.

I don't wish a bad economy on anyone, but this down turn can only help to spread the RP message.

I agree.

Economics is the key. That last video you made is very powerful.

Is there any way to get a higher definition version to put into DVD format?

For the devaluation of the dollar, here are some charts you can pull up for them (mention that the dollar index was 120ish before this ill conceived "Global war on terror"):

Unfortunately the market has been tanking last two weeks so now everyone is watching.


Don't look now: Here comes the recession

Nobody understands economics. If only we had a large group of vocal supporters, with the time and energy to intensely study a single academic field. Then take to the streets attempting to educate the masses with what they have studied.

Too bad all those types of people are wrapped up in the physics of building collapse

It is always the economy. The war doesn't have much effect on most people's day-to-day lives. The vast majority of people don't even think about the war on a daily basis whereas those same people are concerned how much cash money is in the wallet.

I agree. EVERYTHING comes back to the economy and money. I didn't think Americans felt the same way though.

I sent your video to my mother in Ohio and she said the facts it presented were "alarming." I agree....and I hope she'll tell all her friends.

Unfortunately, I'm guessing this will help Romney before it helps us. After all, he's a "business man." :rolleyes:
