Harry Truman is a classic example of someone who was widely scorned at the time. It took 30 years for Truman to be appreciated, as a contrast to the artifice, theatricality, and in some cases mendacity associated with the presidency during Vietnam and Watergate. All the sudden he came to be seen as the real deal...
...government has focused on trickle-down solutions: dealing with complicated assets like mortgage-based securities in the hopes of stabilizing the values of more concrete assets, like homes. In contrast, my approach addresses the root of the problem. Thus the government would help ensure that the mortgage-based securities find a stable price via the trickle-up effect. After all, it would take an inconceivable number of foreclosures at 70% of principal to justify the assets' trading down to 22% of their face value...

The songs’ twee inclinations contrast with the distortion of guitars and vocals. The sweetness of the melodies contrast, at times, with the subtle and the plaintively morose lyrics. “A Teenager in Love” would be at home in any John Hughes movie, a fitting soundtrack to Molly Ringwald eyeing a love...
