I am, for very 1st time in my life, probably going to vote Republican tomorrow... And not because I believe in everything Mitt Romney has platformed, but I am tired of give,give,give to help others and now we have taken such a huge hit with everything and my husband is at risk of loosing more.
So, this DEM is not feeling as though anything has improved. Sorry.

So in spite the fact that the republican house has thwarted every possible effort for improvement, you are going to vote to give them more power just so they can prove a point?

People see what they want to see and with enough media propaganda they actually believe it.
But take a look at the data and make up your own mind.


Will a Prophet Assume Command? | James Quinn | FINANCIAL SENSE
-Median net worth in 2007 was $126,400. By 2010 it had fallen to $77,300, a 39% drop in three years.
-Federal government spending in 2007 was $2.73 trillion. Federal government spending today is $3.8 trillion, a 39% increase in five years.
-Government entitlement transfers totaled $1.7 trillion in 2007. Today they total $2.4 trillion, a 41% increase in five years.
-The national debt in 2007 was $9 trillion. Today the national debt is $16.3 trillion, an 81% increase in five years.
..
There is nothing normal about our current economic situation. The unfunded liabilities at the Federal, State and local levels of government accumulate to over $200 trillion. Do the facts detailed above lead you to believe we can return to pre-2007 normal in the near future, or ever?

Lets see...

In the last year everyone I know that was out of work has gone back to work. Some making more than they did before the layoff.

Houses are selling...
Banks are lending...

And my personal finance continues to grow. The past two yrs have seen a marked improvement over previous yrs.

Yeah it's getting better... Much better...

If people can keep their heads out of their Azzez today we have a chance for continued growth..

If he works in the coal mines, he proably should get another job.
