W. Todd Akin said "It's a pleasure to be able to join you and my colleagues and others who are gathered here to talk about something that has been on our minds for some considerable time now--many months, even 1\1/2\ to 2 years--and that is the subject of the economy and jobs and what's really going on in America. I'm a person who is of that baby boomer-type cycle--I'm 62--and there are many other people such as myself in America that have done a lot of work and tried to save our money and all of a sudden something seemed to go wrong in the economy. We lost a lot of money in 2008, and there is a real concern out there about jobs, the economy, and what's going on in the policies." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
