And, it continues to drop every year Comrade O'bummer has been in office. And, on top of that gas, tax, food and esential item continue to rise astronomiclly: Household income drops for 4th straight year
So, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul should be asking America, as did Ronald Reagon: Are you better off today then you were four years ago?
Yes, the bad economy provoked by the Bush administration. Now, the average salaries across the U.S. are approximately what Americans were taking in back in 1996. Yet, the Republicans think people living in poverty should "pay their fair share", while millionairs, multimillionairs, and billionairs, continue to enjoy tax loopholes, and other tax shelters. After all, even though they could never spend all of it.
Four years later and you are still blaming Bush? Very weak.
Just wait till Romney gets into office and starts cutting middle class benefits and government spending in the middle of a economic downturn that began under Bush.
Here'a Nobel winning economist to explain it to you.
"They've laid off a large fraction of their public workforce, they've slashed spending, they've had extreme austerity programs, they haven't really raised taxes on corporations or the rich at all, they have 14 percent unemployment, 30 percent youth unemployment, zero economic growth,"
Only Krugman could compare the most powerful economy in history to the Irish economy! Romney will grow our economy, create jobs and increase revenue. They give out Nobel prizes in CrackerJack boxes lately.
"Welfare nations" have a higher standard of living, rate happier, rate less corrupt, better rated health care systems, more press freedoms, live longer, and universal health care at 2/3 the cost, more vacation, more paternity leave, and less work hours.
Where do you live? Some the meth lab dotted county in Oklahoma?
Except they go bankrupt eventually. Ever hear of Greece, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Portugal?
It really doesn't contradict the poster. The PIGS nations are not Scandinavia and the rest of western Europe.
No one mentioned Scandinavia and the rest of western Europe. Why are you excluding the PIGS? We were talking about welfare nations. The PIGS have experienced the largest increase in welfare spending and Greece and Italy tops the chart.
Italy and Greece are the two countries in the euro zone with the most corruption.

So the democrats blame Bush while ignoring the fact that Obama has been in office 4 years?
In the other corner Republicans blame Obama even though the economy imploded under Bush?
Yeah, you both suck.
