Jon was like "Ooooh, he served his community! What the fuck is that?" or something like that. Then he said something about how they were all about
service the night before, and now they were making fun of it. I saw it this morning and already forget.

The Fed has far more influence in economy than the president even though the president is always the one who gets the glory or the blame. (kind of like NFL Quarterback, I guess lol....if you get good linemen or defense, you still get the most glory ).
Paul Volcker, the Fed chairman under Carter and Reagan, was the one who "intentionally" created recession by tightening the money supply to fight inflation. However, since the effect is usually cyclical, Carter administration got it worst (double digit inflation and double digit employment) and Reagan got the beneficiary of the policy. The good news is that oil price is dropping because USD is getting stronger again. So I think, things are not as bleak as we fear and might be looking up in the coming months and Bernanke legacy will not be as bad as it was earlier this year. I am afraid of Paul Volcker though...he's one of Obama's economic advisor. He talked about our economy fundamental and if he put the same policy as late 70s or early 80s, I think we should be ready for a lot of pains before we see any gains. Whether the pain is necessary, I don't know

He said that's one of the reason why Clinton has one of the longest economy expansion under his administration. For me, I think Clinton might be lucky too because it coincided with innovation/enterpreneurship of internet/dot com bubble. |

I have a different outlook then many black people, white people, asian people, italian people, green people, yellow people. Some people will understand what I am saying and respect it, take from it what they wish or insult it and me and act like they never read it. I wasn't generalizing everyone in the world. Any one person can take a look at their life and see which applies to them in the certain situations I mentioned, not to mention many more that weren't even brought up, and if it doesn't apply to you or you did nothing at all to contribute to the struggles you face then so be it, but that isn't reality for MOST people. Not EVERYTHING comes down to your color, some things do, then again some comes down to your sex, your sexual orientation, your class, your hair color, so on and so forth. My main point is something will evenutually apply to you where you do have the control to make an outcome different or a struggle a lit bit better and although the government plays a big role in our lives, it doesn't control you or your decisions in every single way. I don't see anything wrong with taking responsibilty for the decions and things you DO have control over outside the government and at the same time trying to look at life as a glass half full rather then half empty. Sometimes it's too much to ask for some people to say "I see what you are saying, but here is my outlook and the way I see it". Some would just rather shoot something down completely if it's not aligned with their only way of thinking.

I don't make excuse with Bush and I don't think McCain = Bush but everyone who lived through Jim Carter era and early Reagan era will tell you that things were far worst then. In the 70s and early 80s, we had double digit unemployment and double digit inflation combined with high gas price. Today, we have 6% unemployment and 3% inflation. |

Unless you are willing to admit that you lead an exceptional, financially substanial life - whereas the things that have occured do not necessarily apply, or affect you, I truly don't understand where you are coming from as a Republican. Why do you want anything or anyone in the White House making trying times harder for anyone? How do you benefit, other than getting richer? Does women having 'that choice' really affect you that much? Do gays and lesbians disturb you that much? You can care about what they're doing and what the President will do 'about them', but could care a less about how hard he/she would make it for 95% of the rest of the world? I don't get it. Republicans are backwards.
