Shoot the Messenger(s) – In Their Own Words

The chattering class, what Democrats call “the informed media” and what TheFundamentals accurately calls “the Hollywood media” is clamoring for Romney’s skin for remarks he made about the economic motivations of many of those who support Mr. Obama.  In rational society, Mr. Romney’s observations would be called the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  In a court of law, Romney would be required to answer as he did and, in our opinion, it is darn well time for him to lay it out and let the 53% that do work and pay taxes decide how long they wish to carry the 47%.

But that is only a prelude to today’s essay which is really not of our making but the composition of five economic scholars – Schultz, Boskin, Cogan, Meltzer and Taylor.  Please go to:  http://www.hoover.org/news/128226 and you will find a link toward the end of this brief article that will take you to the full text of their jointly prepared essay entitled, “Magnitude of the Mess We’re In”

We advise Mr. Romney to read the essay – reread it – redo his entire campaign based on the 10 or 12 very simply stated issues in this essay and then get about formulating a message to deliver to the American people in the upcoming debates that there is no more time to tolerate the misdeeds of the current administration.  These five men make this simple statement – 

“The problems are close to being unmanageable now. If we stay on the current path, they will wind up being completely unmanageable, culminating in an unwelcome explosion and crisis.”

As you know the media will not cover this economic/debt/fed money printing situation and will not provide either analysis of the issues discussed in this composition nor a forum for the discussion of these problems.  If Romney does not do it, then who will?  Yesterday, the PBS newshour devoted an entire segment to one scientist who had moved from the skeptical side of the global warming debate to the “it’s a problem side.”  Here are five trusted economists and scholars who are telling us in clear terms that America is headed toward disaster – yet, no coverage of their message.  Their facts are indisputable – but no media mention.  They prefer to criticize the man out of power rather than analyze the disastrous domestic and foreign policies of those in power.  They have it completely backwards.

If you want to “shoot a messenger(s)” it is time for us to line up and shout out the disaster that this administration, this congress and this fed chairman are creating each day they remain in office.  They are the ones in power who should be targeted for media disdain, not the messengers.
