"We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." – Hillary Clinton.
If people are concerned about the economy, these quotes ought to help them decide how to vote.
If the economy is in bad shape, it’s because of the Democrats in control of Congress. Where is the lower gas price price they promised? The jobs? The faster wage growth? The more affordable college? The balanced budget?
As politicians like to say we have a global economy. And they have said that for so long, it is now probably true. It would seem that the declining dollar is a bad thing, but when it to economics what seems might be true, isn’t always true. If the rest of the world is starting to whine about the low value of the dollar, then maybe things are better here than they appear.
Thirty years ago I was just another stupid hippie who kneejerk voted for any promise of Free Stuff from the government. I am no economist or pundit. All that I can tell you for sure is that, from the first Reagan term to the present day, while hordes of “experts” great and small were shrieking doom, gloom and depression, I turned a small teacher’s salary into what many would consider to be a fortune. If you listen to people with an axe to grind, the times are always bad and doom is just around the corner. The truth is that fortune passes everywhere and there is always opportunity if you’re willing to search for it.
