They are screaming about how horrible our economy is while we have a 5.5% unemployment rate and am set to have the best year since 2005. At the same time, we have removed ourselves from two wars, contained ISIS (which isn't a threat to the US) without putting boots on the ground, and we are about to sign a treaty with Iran that is forty years in the making.
We need to stay the course.
All I care about is the economy. The rest is bullshit and doesn't matter much. Iran, Russia, Obamacare; Who the fuck cares. But when exactly half of my neighbors are loosing their houses, that I care about. |
both sides use fear to push their agenda rochard, it's hardly a republican exclusive deal.

"And we need to fix the dysfunctional political system and get unaccountable money out of it once and for all, even if that takes a constitutional amendment," she said. "And we need to protect our country from threats that we see and the ones that are on the horizon. So I'm here in Iowa to begin a conversation about how we do that."
fear, it's not new. it's typical.
