As you have probably already noticed, the economy has been in the toilet ever since the end of 2008 came to a near end. Some might argue the reason for this is because of our new president and you’d be surprised that you are actually incorrect.

Fact 1: Obama became president after the economy started plummeting and showing signs of weakness.

Fact 2: When Bush was still president, his advisor’s had warned him that the economy was showing signs of weakness and that a it could crash. However, nothing was done by Bush to help this from happening.

Fact 3: Bush pretty much left Obama to clean up his mess that has already been made.

Fact 4: Until the housing market gets back up to speed, we will be like this for a bit longer.

Fact 5: Investing in war with the Middle East like Bush did wasn’t smart and that money spending could have possibly affected our economy. Its not cheap to run a military.

Fact 6: The market goes up and it goes down so don’t expect the president to have complete utter control. You have to do your part as well America!

Fact 7: Lets not point fingers at certain people to blame for this because we are all part of this and we all need to work together as a country to get us back up to speed. Believing that a SINGLE person can do that on his own is just ridiculous.

Obama might have become president at a time where the economy wasn’t so great but that doesn’t mean he is to blame. One man can only do so much.  Even if you don’t support our president, you should at least respect a man that has worked his way from having nothing to the life he has today. Stop saying you want to move to Canada or Mexico because your are not and yet no one stops you. Politics is a harsh topic and sometimes you just have to be more open minded and accept the things you might not agree with.

New items are coming out all the time, each and everyday. They stock the shelves of stores all around the world. Anything from electronics, clothing, shoes, houseware, you name it, there is always something new being introduced into the world. Many people believe it is mandatory to have the newest and the best, every single day.

Name brand items for clothing such as Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Coach, and Gucci, are household names today. My question is, why spend $500.00 on a purse,  clothing , or along those lines that really only costs around $30.00 to manufacture? People nowadays are buying the name of the company, not the product itself.

From shoes and clothes, to iPods and cell phones, we see it everywhere. Teens are now demanding  name brand products, instead of owning generic items for hundreds of dollars less. Money is a big issue in society now, and the name brand companies aren’t lowering their prices to accomodate to peoples budgets.

Until some people step up and demand they won’t pay the outrageous prices for a basically inexpensive product, money is going to be wasted on unneccesary things, and neccesary items won’t be affordable to the common household any longer. Nowadays, people buy a name, not a product. Now teens can buy their way into popularity and acception, instead of earning it like we should.

Teens everywhere are pressured to the have the best of the best, everyday, no matter what it is. Another cruel way to conform to society. It isn’t “bad” to have generic material that is just as good as name brand products. Why waste money on something you may not like a week later?
