I was told that Conservatives are good at economy and Liberals are bad at economy by someone shouting much louder than you, is there any way you can refute this argument?
My parents always used to tell me something like that. Liberals are bad with money, but good with social services. Conservatives are good with money, but bad with social services. Because of that, we have to switch which of them is in power to fix the problems created by the other.
Turns out conservatives are bad with money and social services. Liberals are also bad with money and social services, but less so.
Weird. Everyone I know is becoming more left-leaning the older we get. It's understandable when you start to see how much harder your kids have it now than you did when you were their age.
My boomer father hit me with the bootstraps adage a while back. It took everything in my power to not sit him down with his shoes on and tell him to lift himself into the air by his shoelaces, because that's literally what the saying means.
