-1st last time I derail here...
Twin Peak Recessions. There's [A LOT] of Economic Theory behind this.
-Contractionary Monetary Policy, Infln vs Unemployment (Philips Curve), Growth Economics [Stable Open Economy Model Vs... a lot of other ones), Deficit Budgets, 1973 oil crisis, and Leading and *Lagging indicators* in Data, that do not reflect true Economic returns. --There's a lot. -- No (most at least) Politician is a "Hero". I think at least. It was before my time/ studied it long ago, some Hong Kong Harvard PhD prof (hard class for me).
-It's "the System" That's Pervasive.
-If you can't beat them, join (or try and join them... or at least get yours)... is what lots try and do.
-Trickle Down Economics had issues seen in the next 10-20yrs -- Twin Peak Recessions (as mentioned).
-Running on the Political Business Cycle For Elections... Tax More and More Social Welfare Vs. Tax Less and Increased Savings in your pocket and or Increased Investment and Entrepreneurial Incentive... more incentive to work obviously and work harder with better financial returns (or micro returns I guess for an individual).
-Run on whatever is "needed or seen as needed" at the time... and inherit things ... and claim victory when turned around -- but always lie, lie, lie and promise the sky, but never ever actually let actions speak for themselves.
-Politicans = All Cut From The Same Cloth.
-I don't even really like Econ... not the best at Math. And it was brutal untreated dual disorder, and pssd at a time, and a ton of other things; I kind of fell into it randomly.
_I liked theory and writing classes better than the Math or Game Theory ones (all math or no math, depending on how it's taught/ or learned).
-Also not saying Theory = Real Life. --Politicians do not understand Economics, just run on Political Election Cylce. Ragean good hair and an actor. Trump = "Reality TV Star".
-Some of this is a Joke. I actually do not like any of the 16-20 candidates several yrs ago, last yr and yr before too much on mind/ last yr to sick to care.
-My solution ---> None / Does not exist (just live... for me, self investment... fuck politics/ ignore it).
-Yeah unless mistaken pretty sure "real life" -- people aren't one of the two extremes shown in American Tv (liberals and conservatives or Democrats and Republicans).
-I'm pretty sure they appeal to the most extreme viewpoints (each). And the candidates are EXTREME examples of it... Hilary and Trump. And it's also true Trump isn't even like a lot of Republicans. And it's true Hilary is an extremist too.
-It's also true that none of this matters, just rise up against the bullshit, make money, and tell everyone to go fuck themselves -- just with bodylanguage alone.
