1* Some people say the nation’s current
economic problems are due to the recession which began under the Bush
administration. Others say the problems are being caused more by the policies
President Obama has put in place since taking office. Which point of view comes
closest to your own?
2* Do you agree or disagree with this statement about the
economy— “ … We have to be a lot more productive.
Workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means
that people need to work longer hours and, through their productivity, gain
more income for their families. That's the only way we're going to get out of
this rut that we're in.”
3* Do you agree or disagree—“Americans are working pretty hard
already and don't need to work longer hours. They need to get paid more.”
4* Do you agree or disagree—"The problem is not that
Americans aren't working hard enough. It is that the Washington cartel of
career politicians, special interests and lobbyists have rigged the game
against them.”
5* Do Americans work harder than people in most other countries
or less hard? Or is their level of work about the same?
