I think what’s frustrating for me is that I have a lot of faith in the country and I think Americans will tighten their belts, go to work, and keep this country afloat by sheer American can-do attitude. But then Obama will take credit for it and use it to ensconce more of his allies in positions of power and more of his killer policies.
I lost mine. The last election both candidates promised all candy no medicine and the newer guy won only because he was more unknown so it was easier to believe he was the real Santa. I believed in GWB and have sadly come to the conclusion many of the rats attacks were on target.
Example: The equity bubble we had both gas/oil and houses skyrocketed in value. Many Fellow Americans I know (most) had no trouble selling their houses to the highest bidder (locking out young people) but cursed the oil companies for doing likewise. One was just capitalism, the other was greed and manipulation. Such split logic leads to my first point.
The next shortcut is trade tarrifs to save jobs, like it did in 1930s. Brilliant! That will go great with future inflation.
