we punish groups so the answer then was, let s relieve them by giving them affirmative action. so i think both are wrong. if you think in terms of individuals and protect every single individuals, they re not entitled. one group isn t entitled to take somebody from somebody else. basic problem here there s a lot of good intention to help poor people. but guess who guess the entitlements in washington? the rich people. they run the entitlement system. the military industrial kplek complex. in our remaining moment, back to you, john. governor hunts man, andy and i are about to round as someone who has been here in new hampshire. live free or die, what does that mean to you personally and how would it guide you in the white house? it is the fulfillment of a citizenry being able to live out the meaning of our founding documents.
[ applause ] we are back for our final half hour. so much discussion, speaker gingrich on facebook in the course of this debate about jobs. you can understand why. we ve talked about spending, we ve talked about economic growth. it was governor romney who made the point to a young person who approached him. if he were president and when this person got out of college, he or she would have a job. if president obama has a second term, he or she will not have a job. isn t that the kind of thing that makes people angry, the politicians, easy answers like that? i don t think that s an easy answer. i think that s a statement of fact. [ laughter ] [ applause ] let me go back to what john distaso said. it s the same question. the long-term answer to $4 heating oil is to open up off shore development of oil and gas, open up federal lines to oil and gas. flood the market as dr. paul said, make supply and demand work for us, not against us.
going again, you have to recognize that the role of government is not just to catch the bad guys. important as that is. it s also to encourage the good guys. to return america to a land of opportunity. back to john and andy. john, go ahead. governor romney, i ll stay with you for one moment on the talking about regulation. one of your prime new hampshire supporters, senator a yot has said new hampshire should not be the tile pipe for pollutant. many attacked a rule limiting air pollution affecting downwind states, which he and others join with the president and senate democrats to block a repeal effort. now, is this an example of this trust state air pollution rule of fair regulation, something that we in the northeast are very concerned about in terms of pollution or is this overregulation, job killing overregulation? i m not familiar with the specific regulation as it applies to new hampshire.
nationment. we re going to leave it there. thank you john, and andy both. we ll take a quick break. i ll be back with a final round of questions including the questions from our meet the press facebook page. we ll be back in just a moment. i refer to her as that woman with the great gums. as jill s dentist, i know that her gums are a foundation of a healthy smile. jill knows that, too so she uses crest pro-health clinical gum protection toothpaste. it helps eliminate plaque at the gum line, helping prevent gingivitis. it s even clinically proven to help reverse it in just 4 weeks. and it protects these other areas dentists check most. crest pro-health clinical gum protection. because healthy smiles are built on healthy gums.
politicians, easy answers like that? i don t think that s an easy answer. i think that s a statement of fact. [ laughter ] [ applause ] let me go back to what john distaso said. it s the same question. the long-term answer to $4 heating oil is to open up off shore development of oil and gas, open up federal lines to oil and gas. flood the market as dr. paul said, make supply and demand work for us, not against us. price will come down. under obama, 2011 was the highest price of gasoline in history. it s a direct result of his policies, which kill jobs, raise the price of heating oil and gasoline, weaken the united states increase our dependence on foreign countries and in the face of iran trying to close the straits of who muz. there s 3.2% unemployment in
