My family is much better off, but none of that help go's thru to Obama. There was a huge inherietence that helped. But husband makes more money then he did. Now People that we know who are in the Computing business or Aircraft Business, can't say the same for them, so many of them have been laid off, or let go. Some who were close in age to retiring, where handed there early retirement papers, Terrible is it not.
