Good ideas endure

"The durability of the Bush agenda -- with its commitment to tax cuts, the Iraq war, and free-market solutions to healthcare and retirement -- is in part a tribute to the president's continued popularity among the Republican voters who matter most now, as the candidates head into the post-Labor Day sprint to the first primaries," writes Janet Hook in a Los Angeles Times article that looks at the policies of Republican presidential candidates. There is truth to this, of course, but there is another reason why candidates are advancing policies of ownership and choice, and that is the strength of the policies themselves. On the issue of Social Security, in particular, a glance at the "solutions" offered by Senator Clinton, Senator Obama and most candidates on the other side of the aisle shows a tendency toward tax increases and benefit cuts, two options roundly rejected by our generation. These alternatives to personal accounts are often left unmentioned, but they are the rock and hard place between which a successful candidate will navigate. Republican candidates are indeed staying the course on Social Security, and a more detailed policy discussion forced by the likes of Fred Thompson and Newt Gingrich might help more voters understand the logic behind personal ownership.

It’s no secret that the economy is in the trash, and Americans are looking for some kind of relief. We are facing the worst financial crises since the Great Depression; folks are defaulting on their mortgage payments, fuel costs are outrageous, and unless you have a spotless credit history a loan might be out of the question. The middle class is struggling and the notion of the American dream is diminishing. This load doesn’t seem to be getting lighter, especially when politicians, who caused this mess, are trying to ban the one thing that could help you out in your time of need. In Washington, there has been a bi-partisan effort to hinder, even ban, the payday loan industry. These politicians tend to accuse the industry with what they call “predatory lending.” This commonly used term in Washington just shows how out of touch they are from Main Street. I’m sure that these politicians don’t know what it’s like to be a single father living paycheck to paycheck while trying to raise two children. A payday loan can be an excellent financial tool if used responsibly, but I guess they wouldn’t understand that. With that said, please educate yourself on the issues that affect you the most and exercise your right to vote.

I suggest, instead of debating with each other, why don’t they work together for the benefit of Americans. We all know that insurance is very important nowadays specifically to employees. However, during a recession like the one America is currently mired in, it’s good to know they’re available when necessary. But what’s a recession, or a depression, for that matter? It all depends upon whom you ask. I checked out Yahoo Answers recently, and I had to laugh. The “Asker” wanted to know the difference between recession and depression, and she (the avatar is female) wanted the information in “girly terms.” I’m not sure what girly terms are, but the Asker received a very straightforward response. The American economy is analyzed by quarter. When production is high, it’s considered economic growth. Three consecutive quarters (nine months) of decreased production is considered a recession. A depression occurs when a recession is deep and long. Some common characteristics of a depression include long-term unemployment growth, low prices and low levels of trade and investment. So when it comes to recession and depression, understand that one is bad and the other is worse. If you need a payday loan when things get rough, don’t be afraid to try. Be responsible and you’ll make it through your short-term financial difficulties. For more info on Payday Loans, click the link.
