Re-read the article. There was a source link right after the statistic. Also these is a large difference between average and median. Most studies use median because the top income earners throw off the average. […]

Last week’s first presidential debate was heavy on rhetoric and short on facts, especially Romney’s claims about Medicare and tax breaks. As the ninety minute debate pressed on, it became increasingly obvious […]

Stein knew she was going to be arrested for attempting to enter, it was simply a way to express dissent for what the debates have become.

The vice presidential debate was regarded as being better on facts and more substantive than the first presidential debate, but followed much of the same narrative that President Obama and challenger Mitt […]

It really wouldn’t be that difficult either. The moderator knows the topics for discussion and the questions that will be asked ahead of time. The people organizing the debates know the platforms of the candidates […]

Trevor Hayes commented on the post, Romney’s Claims About Medicare And Taxes Seen As Dishonest, on the site Independent Voter Network 7 months, 2 weeks ago

Hrm, seems like its pretty clear from the outset that it’s Romney who is doing the majority of the misleading here. The title says it all, does it not?

It’s no secret that education has become a controversial topic across the nation. With the election fast approaching, few candidates have taken a meaningful stance on falling educational standards, budget cuts […]

Trevor Hayes commented on the post, Households Owing Student Loan Debt At All-Time High, on the site Independent Voter Network 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Professors at my CSU have made it very clear that they have two lists should prop 30 not pass: classes that will live through the cuts and classes that won’t. Scary stuff when you think of how tight the budget already is.

Trevor Hayes commented on the post, Can The President Control Gas Prices?, on the site Independent Voter Network 8 months ago

I didn’t mention the keystone pipeline because many expert would point out that it would have almost no effect on the global price of oil. The amount of crude that it would introduce into the market would be […]

Trevor Hayes commented on the post, Can The President Control Gas Prices?, on the site Independent Voter Network 8 months ago

So why do our market prices mirror prices in Europe? And why did prices sky rocket under President Bush? Surely his energy policies were more oil friendly?

You know the media has many different facets, we don’t all just follow one agenda.

I think that the history of prices shows that he has no control over it.

I attempted to give the best form of the argument as delivered by republican figureheads. Just because their argument is incomplete does not mean I am guilty of bias. I readily admitted that there are plenty of […]

The president has no control over the domestic or global price of crude oil, I fail to see how that is his shortcoming.

Trevor Hayes wrote a new post, Are We Better Off Now Than We Were Four Years Ago?, on the site Independent Voter Network 8 months, 1 week ago

“Are we better off now than we were four years ago?” This question has become somewhat of a negative mantra for Romney campaign strategists. They hope voters will agree that they are not better off.

An honest mistake. I think people often find those terms equatable.

Trevor Hayes commented on the post, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein: Third Party Budget Plans, on the site Independent Voter Network 8 months, 2 weeks ago

Absolutely. I acknowledged that during the taxes section in which I explained Gary Johnson’s plans. The idea here isn’t to conflate a laissez faire economic policy with inaction, I simply needed to explain that he […]

Recessions can be short, which is why the predictions for growth over the next year are remaining slow, but then pick up starting in 2014.

Essentially? Yes. I just wrote a follow up article about how Romney has taken these numbers and claimed he can create 12 million jobs in his first term. The jobs will happen regardless of who is in the white […]

I’m kind of guessing you didn’t read the article. The point is that the growth will happen regardless of who is President.

I’m not sure that I’m allowed to be that scathing in my reports. Haha. Rest assured the follow up covers it sufficiently though. Something to the effect of “no merit in taking credit for the fiscal policies of the […]

That was always the problem with Ron Paul. He was principled, uncompromising, and had a plan, but he could never draw the national appeal that he would need. Some of his plans were just a bit too drastic.
