Okay, I think all of us have heard the story by now. There was an incident in which a 17-year-old boy ended up shot dead in an altercation. However, even though it’s been over a month since this case began, we really don’t know much more about the case than we did when this first hit the news. Speaking for myself, I do not know | Read More »
In these difficult economic times, I can understand why this might be a secondary priority to people, but what’s going on overseas is extremely important. The world’s looking less stable by the day and our president has given a sign of weakness. However, my eyes are not where many people are looking: Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Libya. I believe there’s a major threat that we’re overlooking: | Read More »
At this point, it is inevitable that Greece is going to default and we may even have an exact date: March 20. About 14.5 billion Euros worth of bonds are becoming due on that date, the equivalent of around 19 billion dollars, around 6 percent of their total GDP. However, they’ve been bailed out before; why not do it again? There are numerous problems | Read More »
As the election nears, I can’t help but ask myself a question: why did we elect Barack Obama in the first place? The first is the economy; things were rapidly falling apart by the end of 2008, collapsing just in time for ensure his election. McCain was a poor candidate as well, but in all fairness, I don’t think any Republican could have beaten him, | Read More »
Okay, considering my distaste for the presidential candidate, he’s the last person I ever expected to defend. However, considering what’s coming out, I feel like there really isn’t any choice. I’m watching the ads about Bain Capital, and here’s what I can point out: they bought up failing companies and tried to turn them around and sell them for a profit. Sometimes they succeed in | Read More »
Okay, I know this is a bit late, but here’s my impression of the New Hampshire debate. Romney had a good night tonight and wasn’t hit nearly as hard as many people were expecting. One of his strongest moments was where he stated that any of the candidates would do a better job than our current president. He spent most of his time hammering Obama’s | Read More »
Okay, this is a list of things that I believe will happen this year, after watching the news in detail. 1. Economic growth will remain anemic. For this year, the growth in GDP was less than 2 percent, the slowest since the Great Depression. I know Obama fans like to talk about how the unemployment rate dropped, but that was because people have simply | Read More »
Out of all the possibilities, I don’t think anyone was expecting this to happen. Now that Iowa is over, we’ll see what happens next. Santorum had to be the biggest surprise tonight, no question about it. He was at the very bottom for most of the race, but campaigned tirelessly in Iowa and as of the moment I’m writing this, he’s in first place, even | Read More »
With the Iowa Caucuses less than 48 hours from now, all the Republican candidates are going overboard trying to get as many supporters as they possibly can. There’s both hope and fear with the candidates, so which one is likely to win Iowa? I suggest we keep in mind that even at this point, about 40 percent of likely voters have stated that they could | Read More »
If you want to know where Obama’s policies are taking us, look no further than my home state of California. We have taxed and spent ourselves into the ground and our current governor and legislature has still more spending bills planned. Our gasoline tax is 64.5 cents for every gallon of gas that we put in the tank, 46.1 cents of which is the state | Read More »
