Policies — or lack of sound ones, particularly when it comes to economics and energy — have consequences. From the New York Times:
At a time of rising gas prices, heightened talk of war with Iran and setbacks in Afghanistan, Mr. Obama’s approval rating dropped substantially in recent weeks, the poll found, with 41 percent of respondents expressing approval of the job he is doing and 47 percent saying they disapprove — a dangerous position for any incumbent seeking re-election.
Americans want a return to economic prosperity. We won’t get there without changes in policy that reflect a respect for, and understanding of, the marketplace and the entrepreneurs who risk capital to hire and retain workers. To help fuel growth, we must also have ample energy resources, and that means tapping oil and natural gas reserves and clearing the way for refineries.
