The Gallup organization reported today that, “Registered voters rate the economy as the most important issue to their 2012 presidential vote, followed by unemployment, the federal budget deficit, and the 2010 healthcare law. Social issues rank as the least important issue.”
Listening to the political analysts, pollsters, and the people after each Republican Primary, and the latest campaign rhetoric of our current President, you would think the only problems in America that need to be addressed are the economic and political problems. Whether it is unemployment, the nation’s incomprehensible debt, the cost of energy independence, entitlements, the growth of government, healthcare, defense, taxes, et al, we have become so obsessed with our economic navel that we fail to ask the most important questions, the solutions to which are fundamental to any hope for our children’s future.
