The new year should bring new changes in our environment but will it be positive or negative changes? In the 2012 race what is going to be the main focus the environment or the economy? While both are very important topics what is going to be the hot topic this year?
I guess it makes sense for money making counties A.K.A. the Burbs as stated on pbs.org, who would like to shift their focus to the environment as jobs are not an issue for these particular voters. According to Dante Chinne of the PBS Newshour, ”More than 39 percent say the economy is more important in the Burbs, while 33 percent say it is the environment.” Wow, so this is really only a difference of 6 points. That is most definitely not a lot. This should tell you what state the economy is in at this time.
I guess in all reality for this new year of 2012 the race will be the environment vs the economy. Will the economy be getting better or worse in 2012? Should our focus be on creating more jobs or should we focus on a cleaner environment for healthier living? Can both be applied equally all the while pleasing everyone? This is a hard nut to crack so to speak as we will see and hear the debates rise in favor of one over the other.
What do you think? Should the focus be entirely on the Environment during the 2012 race or the Economy? Maybe you are on the fence as to what should be the most important at this time. Please share your thoughts and or opinions on the topics at hand.
