Could 2012 be a critical election?

Why/Why not?

 

No. We're already screwed.

 

so negative

 

realistic. its a false recovery being masked by further debt. It'll take 20 years to recover, minimum.

 

Well i didnt say it recoverd... but you said... too late... like this country is doomed... I think we can still get out of the rut, evn if it takes 20 years

 

The country is doomed. There has to be a systemic failure before it gets back on track. Either that or World War III.

Inflation will be out of control with the FED's monetary policy. We're seeing it already with commodities. Unless some new magic industry pops up and revolutionizes everything...but really what would it be? AI and nanotechnology is all I can think of, but instead we're focusing on redistribution of wealth and less efficient/more expensive energy production.

 

Btw, I need this question answered for a test I'm taking. So, thanks!

 

bullshit your answer then. teachers don't like to hear the truth, they want their own egos massaged.

 

Your answer should compare and contrast the needs for the republicans and democrats.

include how Obama hasn't had enough time to implement his policies (whatever they are...when in reality he's just learning on the job really). Green energy, job creation, universal healthcare coverage

for the republicans, go over how the budget decifit is out of control. about how obama's policies have failed to deliver and there hasn't been a strong recovery and little to no change.

 

basically the best you can do is go to Obama's re-election website and Romneys and take their strongest points and rephrase them.

 

It's a short answer question. I don't need much. A few sentences is good.

 

All elections are an illusion, and the POTUS is a clumsy puppet at best.

The same people have been in power for most of my life, and none of them have been President.

 

Yeah.

Dems: Obama's policies haven't had time to be fully realized. If they change leadership in the white house, the last 4 years have been a waste.

Repubs: Obama's policies are dangerous and damaging and need to be reversed as soon as possible before the country is deeper in the shitter.

 

Every election is critical. That is the real answer. Leader of the free world, etc.

 

WE NEED A LIBERTARIAN!!!

 

This. They don't want to hear the truth, they just want you to tell them what they want to hear.

 

Nate, I don't envy you trying to compromise your beliefs to get grades. I did it at a much younger age than you, and would never have done it with the experience I've received over the past 15 years.

 

It's the whole damn school. I just keep my head down and say "sustainability", "green", and "environmental" every few minutes and I blend right in.
