The thing that is annoying to me is that people almost always have a conversation on politics at least every four years. I don't understand why people make such an over exaggerated deal about the topic because my opinions have changed since I've been in IB. I have analyzed some of the aspects of the presidential candidates and notice how some of their ideas are supposed to solve the "recession" and unemployment issue. In IB History 11 Mr. Anderson showed the class a video on the economic issues in the U.S. over the last decade. The video pointed out how the major banks (J.P. Morgan) give out the sub-prime loans that they say are supposed to be really safe but are the exact opposite by that the loans have a high interest rate. It also pointed out how the economic adviser hasn't changed in the last 8-12 years. The adviser used to be a high ranking chairman or ceo of J.P. Morgan (ironic?), this makes sense in why the banking hasn't changed. My overall opinion or position on politics is that I'm not a democrat nor republican because in my opinion to fix the economy one must fix the banking system entirely to solve the issue, and another thing to keep in mind is that the U.S.'s debt has to be payed back sometime so adding to it digs the hole deeper sort of speak.
(To who ever reads this)
I was wondering what your opinion is on politics?
