I think one horrible indicator of the economy is that it currently makes no sense to try and save money in most savings vehicles because the interest rate (usually around 1% or less) is lower than inflation.
People will never feel better off if they dont have a little bit of savings built up earning some interest.

You complain that interest rates are low and if interest rates were high, you would complain that they were high.
I'm much better off, and I have no problem saying that I did it on my own. Worked hard at work to get a new position, and started my own small business to make more money on the side that I can stick in my retirement account.
That's great...good for you. I'm assuming that the nature of your business renders the utilization of infrasructure which includes roads, bridges, the Internet, telephones, electricity, etc. completely unnecessary.
I'm much better off than 4 years ago, but Obama had nothing to do with that. Nor did I or my "boot straps." It was the will of Hashem... I just worked hard and let Hashem do the rest. Obama is the second worst president of our time, next to the anti-chr*st, errr, I mean Jimmy C*rter...
Ahhhh... the internet.... where everyone has a mansion, 2 vacation homes, is a male or female model, has 5 boats, 6 cars.....
We all get the idea
I am really Paul Mccartney..... I spend my free time bantering on the forums for fun
Since we can hide behind computer screens and say whatever we want and be whoever we secretly want to be......
That's right, Democratic operatives go on citydata to lie to a bunch of people who can barely read and basically haven't figured out twitter yet. You've figured it all out!!
I, and my entire family basically are all a lot better off than four years ago, but we understand that a lot of people are not doing better and are in fact doing worse. Obama has done a lot of good, but no matter how many times people list his accomplishments they are casually dismissed. The one person who is least likely to fix this state of affairs though, is Mitt Romney.

Really? You somehow know what I think? Thats pretty ridiculous, but nice try.
Interest rates need to be set by the market, not artificially driven so low that nobody can save money.
