For some reason the government should have let Detroit go bankrupt because all they are doing is bailing out the CEOs. I wonder how if they put all those people out of work how that would possibly have helped the economy? I also wonder how rolling back one hundred years of labor law that went along with those jobs would help either. My friend appears indifferent as to the ripple effect that this would have on the Michigan economy. These laid off people would no longer be unable to buy things at stores and restaurants. This is a position that shows very little concern on empathy to the people lives while totally valuing the cerebral thought of economic austerity.
The most important right that the federal government provides is the second amendment: the right to bear arms and defend yourself. All's I know is I heard how tough it was to buy a gun in certain states - why don't you want me to have a gun - no, I really don't care if you have one. Thanks NRA for the talking points. Machine gun like weapons, that spray more bullets than water from a water hose, can't be regulated because of the "slippery slope" from banning one M-16 to leaving the citizenry defenseless with sling shots. They live in an area where they can't leave their first floor windows open and they're arming themselves against the hoards, hoards which are usually off-white, that are coming. If the area is that bad then I don't think I'd be saving up for a gun but more likely for a U-haul.
They vote for politicians who are totally in the tank for Wall Street banks in order to teach Wall Street banks a lesson.
They think George Soros is the scariest man in the world, and I don't know why. They don't say it but you know they are one step removed from declaring Obama to be a Kenyon Nationalist Socialist Muslim though you really think the Republican national committee would have Obama to serve one term before they tortured him..
They might not like being labelled as the pull yourself up by the bootstraps crowd though everything about them promotes pulling yourself up by the bootstraps. That's what happened in the seventies when their parents separated. When you ask them how much worse it is today than it was in the seventies they have no idea. The answer is that the seventies is when the factories began to pack up and leave for places like China in the "original rust belt" states (PA, OH, MI, NY). Or the free market regulators who allowed the country to bleed jobs into Mexico. Just between 2001-2009 the US lost six million manufacturing jobs (CNN). Those jobs often have higher wages and benefits than the ones who replaced it. In real spending money the Americans are going backwards.
Everyone on welfare is automatically a moocher who wants nothing but to stay on welfare. My friend doesn't believe in the working poor who work two or three jobs and still can't get by. They offer no stats or data to back up this point and all's they offer is anecdotal evidence, namely theirs. For some reason they appear to be a lot more upset over a person stealing an extra bag of cheese doodles, with their food stamps, than they are with a guy who parks his millions in a Cayman bank.
Hilary Rosen was dead wrong about Ann Romney. How dear she attack a woman, Ann Romney, who has survived both MS and breast cancer. The way she says it you know she believes that Rosen is actually working directly for Obama rather than just being someone who actually draws a check from CNN. You forget to tell your friend that Ann Romney is lucky to be married to former governor of Massachusetts. Under her husbands plan, she would have pre-existing condition and wouldn't qualify for health care if she wasn't. The ones who would qualify if they got as sick would be people, like my friend, a poorly paid Romney supporter.
