The American public has questions. And unlike others running for president, I have frank answers.
And with my answers to major questions presented below, I officially throw my hat into the GOP presidential sweepstakes ring.
11 Questions US Public Wants to Ask Candidates
Gallup has an interesting article based on the premise If the American People Were Running the GOP Debate what would they ask?
Gallup claims the questions are based on issues that people say are the most important problems facing the country today.
Gallup says there are “No gotcha questions or efforts to stump the candidates or push them off their talking points, just sincere questions from the people to help them understand how these individuals who want to take over as the people’s chief executive would handle the issues the people deem most important.”
Gallup Questions, Mish Answers
Here are the questions, along with my answers. I believe I am the only candidate willing to answer truthfully.
First question: How do you propose to fix the U.S. economy?
Mish answer: The economy is in mess precisely because we have too many government bureaucrats as well as the Fed attempting to fix it. We do not have a failure to regulate, we have failure by regulation. Every affordable housing program failed. Obamacare failed. The Fed and the government bailed out the banks while taxpayers took the risk. The number one sponsor of income inequality that Fed chair Janet Yellen rails against is the Fed itself. The number two sponsor of income inequality is Congress. The Fed has blown bubble after bubble for the primary benefit of the already wealthy. And everywhere Congress has meddled has been a disaster. The primary examples are health care, education, and housing. None of them are affordable. We need a simpler tax code and more free market economics, because every time the government steps in, government makes things worse. And every time the Fed steps in, the Fed blows bubbles.
Second question: How do you propose to deal with the people’s record-low confidence in Congress and the elected representatives they send to Washington?
