The GOP destroyed him. Tell voters they are conservative and used them like condoms. Come to power and acted like big gov statists with taxcuts but huge deficits because they cannot cut gov. Young people also understand how screwed they are. Forced to pay for Soc Security and knowing it will be bankrupted before they can even get any. Now with Wall Street implosion (another institution that GOP have great trust and faith in) and older people cannot retire (thus young ones cannot get jobs or even promotions for at least a decade). GOP tries to blame Dems but they themselves were asleep at the switch when Wall Street invented liar loans and sold them off as AAA mortgage backed securities. Dem and GOP ignored warnings and were enamored by Wall Street bank lobbyists. Ron Paul had been warning about bankers, huge gov spending and deficits, the Fed Reserve which serves bankers and not US, failure of SEC etc etc. Can you blame him for accepting Ron Paul (even if his foreign policy viewpoints are wrong)??? 2012 and the years to come will be a great challenge to this nation as a young generation will stagnate for ten years minimum before the economy picks up and expands. We will have a lost generation especially the ones who went to college, accumulated tuition debt and graduated with useless diplomas. Like it or not, this will have an impact on the future generations’ attitude towards Wall Street, government and the two major political parties.
The person who is the subject of this thread is generating a useless degree: history and politics. Both of these subjects are good hobbies.
I hope he does not expect a business to hire him based on his knowledge of history and politics. He should pursue meaningful internship opportunities to make up for his choice of majors.
