I keep trying to remind them of that, but it's almost like they're doing this:

Funny that all the liberals I know aren't on any sort of welfare and make very decent money, it is just the conservatives that I know that are always complaining about their finances, when do you start to question that maybe you are just bad at managing your own finances and stop blaming it on Evil Barry?

All the bad and dirty "ghetto urbanites" that most Republicans claim are the ones filling up the voting lines for Democrats, usually don't even vote! But all the conservatives that are on welfare of some sort and for some reason, complain about these non-existent voters and how they bilk the welfare systems, do vote... go figure.

7.9% isn't a liberal problem. We get it.

So even though you know it, you still want to support those people?
Wow, that's a new kind of logic to me. A liberal logic.

Even though I know what? That most of the Democrats that I have ever met, make more money than most Republicans I know?

I am not sure what you are trying to point out that I am supportive of? Maybe conservatives getting better control of their own finances? Yeah.. I do support that?

No complaints here. Looking forward to 4 more years.
Me too. Laid off in mid 2008. 1500 resumes later and 50+ hours a week looking for a job, I was finally hired in December 2009. My 401k from my previous job had halved when I was laid off. Not adding any money to it at all, it's now 30% higher then it was before it started dropping. And my 401k for my new job is doing extremely well.

I may not agree with the President, and the reasons for that can be argued, but I'm undeniably better off now.

Too bad that's not how it works at all. Nice try.
