They all seem to think regulation is killing businesses, though none of them know which ones or which ones to change or seem to know that the vast majority of businesses think lack of demand for their products is the single biggest obstacle to job growth. It’s funny that business doesn’t agree with any of these people, they agree with Paul Krugman who has been saying FOR YEARS demand was the problem. The moderators never once asked about this.

Every Republican candidate would perpetuate that. I’m embarrassed that these people are seriously being considered as possible leaders for this nation. They are all the human equivalent of cat sick.
