Bernie overtakes Hillary in New Hampshire

Are any of these silver spoons really part of "our generation"? That's silly.
 
Are you really trying to say that Obama knows more about economics and their functions than Romney? One mans option piece doesn't make a valid point one way or another.

Obviously he was no Ron Paul.
It's quite fair to say Obama's campaign proposed policies which were more economically coherent. Romney rambled on about balancing the budget (which makes little sense economically, especially in a time in 2012 when the US was running well under full employment and maximum output with historically low interest rates) and a $3 trillion tax cut (which makes balancing the budget basically impossible).

I don't doubt that Romney knows more given his background, he was just stuck in the party which had, generally, the wrong ideas for what to do with the economy in 2012 given its state at that time.

There is a reason that, in 2015, the vast majority of economists are Democrats - the policies supported by the modern Republican party are often not grounded in economic reality.
