i dont even know...

so in micro today, a class i dread normally, my professor said something that really stuck and gave me a bad feeling in my stomach. like i said this normally wouldnt be that big of a deal due to my hatred for economics and the company i have to try and learn it with but today my professor was really hitting us with the statistics of our current finical standings. Barely five minutes into my two hour lecture he explains to the class that the United States has lost 30 trillion in wealth. he said he chose his words wisely...using wealth instead of assets, i have yet to understand the wealth concept over the assets but what i did get out of it was 30trillion LESS than before. TRILLION? that is a number that is so rarely used in serious terms...like when you are little you say that you wish you had a trillion dollars...its like ridiculous to try and comprehend or at least for me. My professor continues with his lecture on to correcting homework but fuck if im paying attention im seriously trying to think about how much money was lost. i finally regain my awareness and hear even more aggravating blurbs. There was a chart on the overhead explaining for the most part taxes by class structure. Now, it is clear this man is wealthy...amazingly dressed, designer ties, shoes and cufflinks every class (now this might not be obvious to most) ...but today he took his "class" and brought it into the class. bitching and moaning about how the wealthy pay too much in taxes and how they are already paying 80 some % of the taxes and they SHOULDNT have to pay more..."Officials like Bidden and _____ need to stop making up their own facts and look at the statistics" this continued...that pissed me the fuck off. The Obama Biden team has barely moved in to the damn white house and already men like my professor are bashing them down. if they, the elected officials, are doing such a terrible job and you believe you could do better...there is an election in four years.

 not only his rich bitch whining was annoying but his obvious affinity to the republican party and the loss of the reign of President Bush. Now i am a democrat, but i am able to respect the beliefs of the republican party to the fullest. so thats not the problem but not only does he scream it at the top of his lungs his political beliefs but he makes it clear that there is no other correct way to think. It makes me sick, and to think i really enjoyed him as a professor. shucks.

sorry to bitch. :-X
