Sometimes politics and thinking only one way clouds the reasoning of good folks. I definitely need to concentrate on right and wrong and not any party affiliations.

Parenting will become a bigger downfall than politics Perhaps we need to return to the theory that government cannot function as parents and that children need very much to be taught about personal responsibility and accountability rather than them "learning" that claiming to be a victim will somehow solve the problems life throws at them and there is a "government solution" nearby.

The government used to give out gov cheese and a few needed items the needy amd i didn't see a problem with that. When you think about gov handouts don't forget the ones that the politicians create to benefit themselves Big girl 1 Quote

Vote for the candidate that will make gov smaller and less intrusive...don't think they will ever CARE about you...that's your family and friend's job. The smaller gov is, the less it will affect ordinary folks. You seem to still want gov to somehow fix it's own problem...it won't/can't. baddog 1 Quote

So from the liars of both sides we will have a third party arise that is truthful and cares about the little man. It could happen but not in my lifetime. Right now, I will settle for positive results. Protecting our citizens is first and foremost. Next comes jobs/economy. So far, I am happy. Foreign policy.......What a freakin mess. That's a very tough one. Social Security should be improved and the monies left alone. Medicare should cover old folks 100%. SS should never ever be taxed. What a sin. That's all for now.

Lmao.....I would still be a working class fool because that is who I am. The rich get richer everyday. Does not affect me. Of course, none of the complainers on this board would go after Michael Jordan getting richer. In fact, they worship him because of his success. What a novel idea. LumRaiderFan 1 Quote

The one to whom the question was directed hasn't the foggiest idea of either term and has already proven that several times. Also, do not request the "friends" interpretation of macroeconomics vs microeconomics. Quote

I don't particularly like calling her out, but when she gets on here and calls 62,000,000 people idiots I feel no shame or guilt for enticing her to expose her true intellectual self. Quote
