While I agree that bail outs weren’t the best option, allowing them to fail would have likely led us farther into recession as housing prices plummeted, which in the end might not have been the worst thing that could happen, but it would be rough. Our economy is built on credit and the incurring debt systems that stem from an actual lack of money required to do things. It is virtually impossible for the average person to buy a house without a home loan/ mortgage, hell it’s nearly impossible to by a new car without a loan, but our economy is based on these impossibilities. To fix this problem (if you think of it as a problem) we need a complete restructuring of how our economy works.
We’ve in the throws of a shift from a goods economy to a services economy, the question is, what’s next?
The guy is a doofus saying doofus things like doofuses do. The less he talks the better. His campaign manager needs to tell him to focus on beating Hillary instead of giving her more and more ammunition. Or maybe they’re fucking geniuses and I’m the doofus.
Sure… sounds totally unbiased and knowledgeable! I’d argue that the obvious bias is a major problem.
To be fair, I doubt Clinton’s team is unbiased either, but I’d guess she’d find someone who is knowledgeable on the topic, from a cultural and historical perspective.
I would say that Trump and his campaigners are warped geniuses insofar as making the doofuses believe that things like basic knowledge of world geography are secondary to chutzpah and machismo.
Sure, it’s not clear-cut, but it’s long been the legal basis for this sort of separation (Czechoslovakia becoming Czech + Slovakia, Yugoslavia becoming Slovenia+Croatia+Bosnia+Serbia+Montenegro, Kosovo, USSR, etc etc).
