Informal Poll

It is apparent to me that technical economic jargon must be scary. So my question to you:

Did you have an adverse or bad experience with economics in college or high school? If you did; what happened?

Milton Friedman was one of the greatest economists ever.................

Moving towards facism?

How appropriate is this...............?

Economic Growth

The economic growth numbers are out. 1% growth the lowest in five years. Your thoughts on this please. Keep in mind a few questions when answering this one.

1. Do you think the federal reserve has something to do with this?

2. Is big business the problem?

3. What is the government's role in all this?

4. Does the average consumer bear any culpability?

5. Does the rate of dis-saving in this country have anything to do with it?

Politically charged........................

I had a discussion with my wife recently regarding Barack Obama's campaign tactics. She observed a commercial wherein Mr. Obama claims to have cut taxes, been strong on national defense and championed the average American's rights to pursue their dreams. She said that the commercial made her feel somewhat positive towards him as the potential president.

On the flip side, Senator Obama was named the most liberal Senator in the US Senate. How can he espouse these above mentioned values and still be the most liberal senator?

We all know that most Americans do not take the time to be informed enough about the candidates and what they really stand for. I believe that Obama is counting on the negatively charged atmosphere against the Republican party and the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans do not take their voting rights seriously; to win the Presidency. I must add, I am not all that excited about electing a liberal republican to the office either. Need I name names?

What are your thoughts?
