Your kidding right? What good will this do for the economy.

Balance a checkbook would be nice just to name a few. Run home finance like a business.

The above should be taught senior year in every high school at the very least! You don't have to be a rocket scientist to balance a check book, but it is mind boggling the number of people who can't. The attorneys I worked for, for example - you'd be surprised how many times there were insufficient funds in the payroll account on payday.

My business is tied directly to the economy at large. When the economy is building momentum, so does my business. When the economy is flat so is my business. When the economy is booming, again, so is my business. As of this moment, my business is flat and has been for some time. I have seen no improvement and in fact it has gotten worse over the last 6 months or so. Believe all the stats and graphs you want, but if I don't haul it, it isn't being sold. Peddle "the economy is booming" to someone who doesn't know better...

Don't know what you're reading or listening to, but in many places the economy is doing anything BUT coming back. In fact, it's getting worse. In parts of the country, people are still losing their jobs.

Obama's approval rating at this point in his first term is below that of every modern president who won reelection.

Economy improving???? HA!!! Maybe for the top 1%. For the rest of us, things are not good. I don't know if MSM thinks we all smoke enough stuff to believe their bull crap lies about the economy improving or what, but all you have to do is look around and realize things are actually worse.

I see more people panhandling.
I see more people buying food with food stamps.
I see insanely high gas prices.
I see my neighbors abandoning their homes due to not being able to make the mortgage payment.
I see people giving up looking for work and applying for disability and welfare.
I see people who have been out of work since 2008.
I see people who are underemployed. College grads with the so-called good degrees working at Starbucks.
I see more young adults living with mom and dad.
I see more homeless people. Even my tiny town of 2000 people now has homeless people. Homelessness is no longer a big city problem. It is everywhere.

If anyone thinks any of these things are good, then they are insane. All of the things I just listed mean that our standard of living is dropping.

Harry Trumans' was lower. Reagans' was just barely above where Obama is.

Presidential Approval Ratings -- Gallup Historical Statistics and Trends

The recovery is excelerating (and Obama's approval rating will increase with it):

"The pace of job creation by private employers accelerated more than expected in February, a report by a payrolls processor showed on Wednesday.

The private sector added 216,000 jobs last month, the ADP National Employment Report showed, topping economists’ expectations for a gain of 208,000.

January’s payrolls figures were revised up to an increase of 173,000 from 170,000."
