In addition to high unemployment, loss of personal savings, and a marked increase in the number of Americans on foodstamps, personal incomes are down 8.2% under Obama!

At this rate, with four more years, just think of all the additional people added to the foodstamp roles as well as delegated to "poverty level" incomes.

This is the problem with "redistribution" and leftist economics- it is a fast track to poverty. Just ask anyone from the old USSR, North Korea, or Cuba.

Is this what liberals hope for? Four more years of misery for the US?

And yet, profits are up, the dow is over 13000, and executives are reporting record salaries and bonuses.


But yeah, it's Obama's fault salaries are down.

The obvious solution.... cut taxes for businesses and the rich! I'm sure EVENTUALLY they'll turn those record profits into jobs.... right? They are, after all, the "JOB CREATORS!"

Yep, most family incomes have been in a pretty steady decline since 2000. Err... what is it about 2000 that rings a bell???

Just imagine how well we would be doing if Mr. McCain had been elected then medically incapacitated due to stress and Ms. Palin was President. I did imagine that scenario and worked and voted for Mr. Obama in 2008 and will vote for President Obama in 2012.

Yes by some measures income is down but not nearly as much as it would have been if the McCain/Palin government had instituted the austerity measures it was proposing. That would have resulted in turning a long recession into a permanent depression on a worldwide basis.
