I agree, some of us are doing well. I hate seeing good people who are honest hard workers but struggling along to make ends meet. They make too much to get help but too little to be in a position to get a second chance and make a better life. They got stuck in the rat race and a lot worse off than they were 5 years ago.

Are you suggesting some "Liberal idea" of a social safety net for those folks?

Losing tens of trillions dollars in private assets several years back, not to mention a country that has high personal private debt..... What did you expect? Barring some MASSIVE public investment (we've used wars too many times this past century) this is what one would expect. Corporate America is sitting on a mountain of cash with a country full of people in debt, underemployed. How do we fix that?

Sucks to be them. Perhaps they could learn a new profession or do something to better themselves instead of just having a pitty party.

Like it was so awesome from 2000-2008. I laugh at the same RWNJ that have nothing better to do than come on an kvetch about how awful Obama is-like did he p*ss in your oatmeal or something? Then the non stop squawking about how horrible life in America is under Obama. Well to quote SO MANY righties during the Bush years-"If you don't like it-leave or quit complaining; so support your President 100% or get out"
