Mitt Romney, center, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry are seen before a Republican presidential debate in Las Vegas. Key proposals from the Republican presidential candidates might make for good campaign fodder. But independent analyses raise serious questions about those plans and their ability to cure the nation’s economic and housing woes. The candidates are pushing lower taxes and less regulation in the name of job creation. But employers say poor consumer demand is a far bigger obstacle to new hires.

Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., speaks during a Republican presidential debate in Las Vegas. Key proposals from the Republican presidential candidates might make for good campaign fodder. But independent analyses raise serious questions about those plans and their ability to cure the nation’s economic and housing woes. Bachmann, during the debate said, in an answer that mentioned "moms" six times, said foreclosures fall most heavily on women who are "losing their nest for their children and for their family." She said Obama "has failed you on this issue of housing and foreclosures. I will not fail you on this issue." Bachmann offered no specific remedies.(AP Photo/Chris Carlson, File)</p> http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/08/26/7487234-storm-prep-pack-house-check-insurance-policyhttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2011/08/26/7487234-storm-prep-pack-house-check-insurance-policybusinessinsurersinsurancehurricanes-katrinanorth-carolinahomeownerspoliciesus-businessirenehartwigonly-on-msnbc-comFri, 26 Aug 2011 15:54:22 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post http://www.newsvine.com/_news/2010/10/28/5368812-patchwork-policies-for-college-video-liftshttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2010/10/28/5368812-patchwork-policies-for-college-video-liftscollege-footballsportsnotre-dametowerpoliciesThu, 28 Oct 2010 20:23:54 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post<p>Notre Dame emergency personnel examine a location where a tower used to video Notre Dame football practice fell over Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2010, in South Bend, Ind.
