Candidates Face Off Over Economic Issues
October 24, 2008
Litchfield, Connecticut- Chris Brunetto of Litchfield High School recently addressed the citizens of the school in an impromptu speech made this morning. He expressed his concern over citizens registering to vote and making their voices heard through their right to vote. The students have yet to register but campaign posters have been appearing around the school. There has been a stream of advertisements referring to Chris Brunetto’s economic policies. Recently at a Merkitarian Party meeting Brunetto detailed his economic plan to members of the party. His plan included jump starting the economy by preventing millions of Americans from losing their jobs. Also he wants to provide tax relief to middle class families and protect homeowners with mortgage help. A major aspect of his plan is to create five million green jobs in America and to stop providing tax relief to companies that send jobs overseas. Brunetto’s plan was met with resounding approval. Although the students of Litchfield High School have yet to hear of the opponent Spencer Rust’s economic policies, Chris Brunetto appears to have captured the needs of the students with his economic plans.
