Seems like Obama is more in attack mode than McCain, no? I would think it'd be the other way around. I guess McCain will start taking risks soon.
I'm pretty ignorant about the whole economic crisis going on right now. But I've read that entering a Depression or Recession is an ideal opportunity for young adults to take advantage of. I've also read that it hurts people over the age of 40. I'm just wondering why is it opportunistic for people my age? I'm 24, and I get the impression that me asking this means it won't be as opportunistic for me as other people already aware. Just wondering why I've read and heard that lately.
McCain looks horrible. Hyperventilating, holding himself up with the back of the chair, stumbling around. Horrible
KingCheetah, I'm sorry for the snappy comeback. It's just that the idea that public works always pay for themselves has been debunked since the 1950s (and really was only was accepted for 20 years or so), when Milton Friedman thoroughly discredited most of the Keynesian claims. Some do pay for themselves in the long run. Most don't.
lol now mccain calls for public works too. Is he pro-spending or not? What is his plan...? I'm bloody confused.
If you have money to buy, you can profit long-term. If not, you can train for the new industries that survive. (Hint: Stay away from finance or home building.)
Some things don't have to pay for themselves -- critical infrastructure projects don't have to turn a profit in order to provide a critical function or service for decades.
The body language of the people in the hall is telling. Check out the lady with the black hair on the top most row left of Obama. She loves him. When McCain starts talking, the body language shifts -- I don't know if that's a positive shift or not, though.
