Perry will downgrade America

[Nancy Waterman]

Perry is going to create the narrative of being the guy who creates jobs, and try to make Obama the big government spender and the failure who has impoverished us (ignoring all the facts about what Bush did and what the GOP Congress did).

We need a strong counter narrative. Perry will downgrade America. He would create a country where only the wealthy can afford health insurance and the jobs created are minimum wage and barely subsistence. There will be no Social Security or Medicare safety net. The corporations would have nothing to restrain them from harming the environment and abusing workers.. He would equalize American workers' conditions with Third World workers and conditions. In short, Perry would make the US look like Texas, with its low education standards, explosive high school drop-out rate, low number of insured citizens, high pollution levels, and low wage jobs. He would, in short, downgrade America.
