Blurry image slowly becomes the New York Fed.
Paul speaking: what if I told you that the biggest banks on Wall Street own 100% of the stock in the Federal Reserve, and that they control everything it does? What if I told you they had been gifting themselves $50 billion a MONTH in free money, which will one day cause the price of your food and gas and education to go up? What if I told you NO ONE in our government even KNOWS what they are doing, much less has the ability to control it?
Cut to all three: Paul: does this make sense to you? Cruz: Does this seem fair to you? Walker: why would anyone object to changing this?
Paul/Cruz/Walker: change you can BELIEVE in.
You get the gist. The Fed is a big bite to take.
Or education. They could focus on the importance of education, typically a reliably leftist talking point, and discuss how well the charter schools in New York performed, how public schools RIGHT NEXT TO THEM performed only a fraction as well, and how de Blasio closed them. Why? Teachers unions. And race should absolutely be included in this. All the faces would be black. You would have happy, successful black faces, and bleak, discouraged faces. In point of fact, this is the REALITY. Democrats don’t give a shit about blacks, per se.
Or take on ghettos directly. Why do we still have large economic underperformance zones? How do we fix it? Charter schools. Tax credits. Remove incentives to have kids out of wedlock and/or improve incentives to have kids in wedlock. These are fine lines to walk, but frankly the suffering is quite real, and something DOES need to be done about ghettos.
Or the economy. National banktupcy is not going to help anyone. You get the idea.
Before the primaries start, they could start establishing a high ground, a positive vision, and could choose to focus solely on actual policy differences once the slugging does start.
Be different. Why? Because you can’t learn anything being the same, and if you’re not learning, you are decaying.
