Are We Better Off After a Year of Obamanomics?
Gosh, that's an easy one.

Heck no.

Over 3 million jobs lost.

Quadrupling of the deficit.

40% rise in the debt.

Government takeover of the Auto industry, Banking Industry.

10% UE.

Foreign Policy in a shambles.

Terrorist attacks on the way with incompetent boobs missing the dots.

Health Care "reform" that will raise taxes, destroy the quality of care and balloon the deficit even more.

Better? That depends...

My investments are better than a year ago but no thanks to the government, but from shrewd investments in OTHER countries starting last year... I hedge against our government (socialism NEVER wins)....

The job market still SUCKS... I guess Obama saved millions of jobs except in the job fields that actually need people...

Global warming freaks are still all over the place... I wish they just debunk that POS ideology... Its like believing in magic... grow up already...

Investments into Green Energy is NOT enough... let me get this straight... TRILLIONS of dollars is going into bailouts... HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars into stimulus... BILLIONS more in fraud and abuse... and you give 2.5 Billion to green energy investment for them to make stuff they can profit off of? That leaves almost NOTHING into improving green energy technology... what a POS president you are...

TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS of dollars in more debt... by the way, with the debt so high you actually owe thousands of dollars which you won't pay so your grandchildren will have to pay it with interest... a nice you're welcome from the older generation.... suckers!

Higher taxes.... thanks Obama... I guess I'll cancel next year's vacation... apparently the left-wingers think this is bad cause my "vacation" would of pump more money into the economy... that's the excuse they keep giving for the Obama's policies and leftist ideology... so I use the same excuse as they do...

It depends... when your are swatting away the dirty liberal hands from going into your pocket, you'll be just fine...

Of course the reason the unemployment rate is what it is now is due to the fact the utter free fall our economy was in as Bush left office. Something which takes time to turn around. The job loss during the past 3 months was about 10% of what the job loss was during Bush's last 3 months in office. 208,000 jobs lost over the last 3 months, is still way too high, and we have a long way to go, but it sure as hell is much better than the 2,019,000 jobs that were lost in Bush's last 3 months in office.

Well how is the tax increase going to make or break you since you are making in excess of $250,000??

I hear Obama bashers make this statement a lot about Obama. Didn't Bush use a teleprompter as well? I guess he couldn't read as well as Obama. Obama does it with ease. It's just a thought.

Are you saying that people who earn $250K+ are immune to the effects of tax hikes? If someone in that income range lived in a leftist state like yours, after the federal, local and state tax hikes are fully implemented, they could be paying 50%+ of their income in taxes.

Is that too low a percentage for you? How much is their 'fair share'? I think Obama would have no problem with these people paying 70%+ but can not get it passed and does not want everyone to know what a commie he is.

Immune from the impact it would have. Someone who is making $275,000 will not be impacted by having their taxes increase by $750.....
