These questions at the Republican debate are planted
Advertisements [?]
I'm watching the rerun, and I just heard the first softball question from YouTube. It was a "small businessman" who was wondering how his business was going to find the "confidence to hire new employees".

I thought about that for a moment, realizing that beside the point it played right into any Republicans stump speech about the "Obama uncertainty", I was listening to a businessman who want's to add workers to his payroll but is "afraid to". Does that mean he sends customers to his competitors because he's unable to accomodate them? Is this idiot losing money at his pizza shop or whatever he owns by closing weekends while maintaining a skeleton crew?

Since demand = supply, there's no reason to add employees when there's no demand, and not adding workers when business picks up causes customers to seek wares and services elsewhere.

I decided then and there the questions are complete bullshit sent to YouTube by the candidates staff. This Fox News fake "debate" is no more than an infomercial.

worst debate ever.
