Most Recent Argument

My most recent argument was about a week ago. I was in my room and my roomate came running in and told me he needed me to argue with this kid about the state of our economy. I watch the news everyday and try to stay up on politics and our economy so I followed him. Ron was trying to say that we were going to be in a depression and that our economy was screwed and that the financial crisis was not because of economic speculation. I let him shoot his argument at me first and he seemed to be very uninformed. Then I just showed him how the market has been going crazy because of people shorting stocks and the banks tightening up the credit because nobody knows where the mortgage investment money is right now. He went from being offensive and confident to saying things to me like "yeah well America is screwed and mass anarchy is going to happen." I just laughed and walked away because he was uninformed about the topic.
