Me, everyone I know, and the statistics say we are WAY BETTER OFF now than eight years ago.

That doesn't mean that some people, for one reason or another, can't get out of their rug.

But I thought that's where "personal responsibility comes in". It turns out "personal responsibility" is blame Obama.

Granted, your entire post makes me wonder if you care about factual information and data....
Question for you, when did the crash happen that lead to the recession we went through? Also, I am not sure what you just said here....

"Yet you completely ignored it while making a statement about how facts support you yet you don't bring out those facts." I am not entirely sure what you just stated here because this part of your sentence makes no sense.

Your entire post makes me question the education system in this country, and wonder how it has let this country down....

I have never said Trump had 0 chance. Never. I have no respect for anyone who has to pull this kind of sting in order to win an argument.

I would never give anyone 0 chance, let alone the crazy right-wing party. They would elect O.J. Simpson under the "right" circumstance.

Haha. You sound like Chief Spreading Bull (Elizabeth Warren). 0 chance you said. Brokered convention you said. Hes done you said.

You don't have much credibility on the issue, and neither does everyone you know. Your experts haven't been correct in a long time. But I'm just judging from your posts. Why are so many on government assistance 8 years after the crash?

It's been ''crashed'' for 8 years. Obama decided to feed his welfare parasites rather than grow the economy.


It has nowhere to go but up once he's gone.

~ Dec 2007 - Sep 2008 any of those dates. Many use Sep because of the stock market crash

You said the facts back you up. You haven't presented any facts. I said that earlier and you still haven't presented anything to back up your absurd statement. Why comment when you cannot comprehend a simple post?

Actually before the crash, there were 37 million people on food stamps, during the recession it went up to just over 47 million, and now it is down to 43 million and dropping. Not sure what the issue is with this one, yes the number of people who need food stamps goes up with a recession. Since the recession has ended, we have seen that number continue to drop, as long as it is going down, I have no issue with where it is at.

Actually before the crash, there were 28 million people on food stamps. Early 2008 27-28 mil late Sep we went over 31 million. You're 1 year off at a minimum.
You have no issue that the number of people on food stamps 8 years after the crash is 50 percent higher? Your standards are extremely low.

People will cherry pick some single economic indicator, ignoring all the others. Very predictable.

Another thing thats predictable? We will most likely have a recession within the next 4 years. And that was true no matter who won.
