Most Republicans vying for the 2012 presidential nomination bash the Obama administration for failing to create jobs; they confidently promise to get unemployed Americans working again.
If reducing unemployment is so easy to accomplish, why no has prior administration (i.e. the Bush Administration) done so successfully?
Job growth occurs primarily in one of two ways: through private sector (small and large businesses) hiring or public works initiatives by the federal government.
Do Republicans have a secret weapon? If so, what is it?
Democrats also have failed to provide us with clear-cut explanations about their policies and plans to get America working again.
How exactly will President Obama’s billion-dollar jobs plan work? How many thousands of jobs can we expect it to generate? Who will be eligible for these jobs? What kinds of jobs will be created?
Republican primary candidates also need to answer hard questions about their plans for job creation.
Mostly, however elected officials give us slogans and sound bites.
The public needs substance—the how, what, and when of Democratic or Republican plans to create jobs.
On the other hand, the media and the public should demand concrete answers.
