That's just it. According to the benchmarks, the economy was doing really well for 7 years of his administration.
You must have been living in a different planet.
Then people will bark about spending on the war. Like one trillion, but all that money went back into the market place, and salaries for Americans.
Not true either. Once a bomb explodes, all it lieves behind is a hole on the ground. That's money down the drain.
We are spending money on ourselves, paid for, ourselves. It's so stupid. Let's go into debt to get out of debt. It's clearly not the answer.
And yet, all the economists (across the political spectrum) agree that that is the right thing to do. So stupid they are...
I don't know who is exactly responsible for regulation, or the lack thereof. But I don't feel it should be our government's responsibility to rule over everything we do. We should be responsible enough to do it on our own. But there is too much greed in the world I guess. I think certain things should be safe guarded. Like our pensions and homes we live in, should have secure futures.
Exactly. I think you could think like a liberal if you tried.
