Text: Youngstown, OH

An economy devastated by seven and a half years under George Bush.

What do real Ohioans think about John McCain's views on the economy?

Man 1:  He had the audacity to say, well, the only problem with American workers is that they need to be educated.  Educated to what?  Eat less?

Text:  John McCain said that NAFTA has been "a great thing for America."

Man 2:  I couldn't believe it when I first heard that he had said that.  In our community especially, as you can see, it's been devastating.  If he were to be president, I can't imagine how bad this community would become four years from now.

Text:  John McCain describes the Bush years as "a pretty good prosperous time."

Woman 1:  Health care for the workers are just cut to a minimum.  Where does he get the idea that we are better off?

Man 3:  Our economy is not up to date like it should be.  We feel that John McCain and Bush is the same person and we feel that we don't need him in that office.

Woman 1:  We are not going to be able to keep our children here in Ohio.  We are not going to be able to keep our grandchildren around us because they all have to go somewhere else to work.  There are no jobs in this valley.

Man 2:  The steel industry is gone.  Everyone around here is going to have to continue working at minimum wage jobs.  And to Bush and McCain minimum wage means wages so low you can't live on them.

Woman 1:  This is sad.  This is really sad, that we in America have to have our friends and our neighbors go without food.  I don't know what we're going to do.  I just know that I never want to leave the Mahoning Valley.  This is my area.  I grew up here and I don't ever want to ever leave it.  But I'd also like to have my grandchildren down the street.
