: About Me

Hello, my name is David Hacker. I'm currently a Middle School Social Studies teacher in the state of Kentucky. Yes, some people will tell you that becoming a teacher is insanity. Teaching requires patience, understanding, and the willingness to work at a less than desirable salary. Yet, I heard the call and have chosen to mold the great minds of tomorrow.

Also, I am a veteran, having served eight years in the U.S. military. Yes, four years in the U.S. Navy and four years in the U.S. Army. Some of us need to learn lessons in life the hard way.

Besides that, I'm an aspiring writer and avid sports enthusiast.

Sincerely,

David Hacker

Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory The impact of consumer confidence on the economy

2 of 3

Consumer confidence and responsibility, these are words that we rarely use when referring to aspects of the American economy. It seems that political leaders are always more infatuated with education and health care, the two pillars of politics every candidate must address during an election year. However, our economy always tends to come in a distant third. When we mutter such unworthy banter in the public forum, politicians always avoid it as they would the plague. A free market system, oh yeah, that's right. It's ours and here to stay, as long as the Socialist's are willing to let us ha...
