the economy

We've lost a lot of purchasing power. We don't make anything anymore. We're creating a lot of inflation. Our debt to GDP ratio is absurd. Our credit rating is downgraded. We have no future. The only difference between us and Greece is the passage of time and major weaponry.

We had some power from having a world currency, but it is slipping away. The peop...

politics

In my lifetime, paper ballots were counted by hand. They did this at each polling place with a representative from each party watching. The results were tallied and the box with the ballots was sealed and delivered to the elections office. I think that the results were posted on the wall outside the polling place. There were multiple checks on fraud at ev...

What did Romney hope to gain from adding Ryan to the ticket? According to polls he needs more votes to win and he can't get more votes from Ryan, who is to the right of Atilla the Hun.

The lawyers said that the police themselves brought the molotov cocktails. I myself am not surprised. For years I organized progressive political protests. All the protesters were sens...
