He should run for the democrats, honestly. Doesn't matter if he's right or left or whatever, people with common sense generally aren't republicans.

Ah well let me play both sides of the fence here. Congressional democrats don't found their platform on common sense. They found themselves in carrot-and-stick promises offering programs and goals more around what garnishes popular votes.

So lets review: Republicans = misguided, nationalistic ideology. Democrats = Bait and switch. I love that Ron Paul is trying to bring a proper definition to the Republican party, though I'm still iffy about it. At least he brings to the table some reason and logic in a cool, non-inflamitory way.

Bah. As the days go on, though, I'm probably going to land on Obama again as much as I voted against him last time. The fellah has done pretty well in internationally but he's really going to have to fix how puddles around to fix the economy. Bailout fail. That dude is NOT anti-buisness, nor are most Dems despite what they say.

Re: ITT we talk about the US economy

it doesnt matter, you can keep inflating the dollar forever and pushing the problems around until they became irrelevant and part of life (too late)

gotta love capitalism.

Re: ITT we talk about the US economy

I'm probably gonna get a lot of people thinking I'm stupid for saying this, but I live in Texas, and it really isn't that bad here.

I live in Texas and the national recession seems completely irrelevant to my everyday life.

I don't support him, but I'd love to see him win the Republican primary more than anything else in the world. Besides a blowjob, I could really use a blowjob right now.

Re: ITT we talk about the US economy

Can anyone here explain economy?

politicians are swayed by money
politicians are swayed by lobbyists with lots of money (read: bribery but not illegal) or by the prospect of becoming a lobbyist and making lots of money after they're done
big corporations have lobbyists with lots of money
big corporations will spend money to make more money
solution: replace politicians with stoic lawmaking robots

Re: ITT we talk about the US economy

Economy:

We have resources but not enough to go around

Some people start out with more resources than others. Sometimes it's dumb luck, sometimes it's through effort, sometimes it's through brains, sometimes it's a mixture.

Long-term solutions can be completely different than short-term ones.

Given that, make the economy workkkkk.
