voter apathy

there are ways of encouraging voters to vote without supporting a specific candidate. it could be run like a lottery and everyone who votes gets a ticket no matter who they vote for and they could win a prize or something. this would only encourage people to vote and wouldnt effect who they voted for

Electoral college

I don't like the idea of a candidate losing the popular vote but still becoming president because of the electoral college. the only reason there was never a straight up popular vote was because back when our gov was set up travel and communication was almost impossible, so they set up the electoral college, but now we can communicate and candidates can travel so the electoral college to me is outdated and stupid.

stocks and bonds

stocks are shares of a corporation that people can buy, when the corp does good the corp pays out money to the investors but the investors can lose money when the corp is not doing good. bonds are essentially loans made out to corporations that earn interests. stocks offer greater rewards but greater risks. bonds offer less risks and less rewards

GOP Candidate

Herman Cain seems the best choice, our econemy is in the trash right now and no politician has been able to solve the problem, I think that it is time for a businessman to try, after all the government is just one big overglorified business.

Trust in Government at All Time Low, Really?

A new CNN/ORC international poll found that only 15% of Americans trust the Government to do what is right most or all the time, this should not be terribly surprising. The previous all time low was when the watergate scandel was discovered, and then 17% of Americans trusted the Gov. Our massive yet still incapable government and the inept administration that "leads" it, have done a pretty good job earning that 85% of the populations distrust of government. From recent mash ups like the solar panel company Solyndra, which the government and vice president Joe Biden praised and heralded as the source of many new green jobs, and loaned 535 MILLION $ to, that suddenly went BANKRUPT, to operations like Fast and Furious, where various agencies bought and sold guns and drugs to the mexican cartel, in an effort to figure out who was buying and selling, the only problem was that they lost hundreds of guns and lbs of drugs that were then used to
