Who said, “Gas prices will necessarily skyrocket”?

I am better off. The company I worked for closed down. Now I can spend the days writing poetry.

I am making different colored stick figures and plan on selling them to liberals as art.

I’m pretty sure movie tickets have almost doubled also! It’s like $12.00 a ticket in MN now!

I’m a lot better off. All those bankruptcies and foreclosures have kept me going pretty good.

President Obama appeared at a Labor Day event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he told a crowd of union supporters that "American workers and the American economy are better off since I became president."

You mean... he lied?

FACT: Obama and his Democrat party are delusional. So it’s no surprise they called him out on this lie.

And notice the press reports none of the ghastly economic news as part of their campaign reporting, with some of them actually telling us with a straight face that the economy is improving.

Okay, I’m in agreement that things are worse off now, in comparison to before Obama became president,

but,

when comparing beef and bacon, why did the authors resort going back to prices of 1980 and 2004, rather than 2008 or 2009?

What’s the deal there?

Took my grandson to a movie as a major portion of his birthday gift two months ago. Two tickets, one a senior rate and one a student rate, during twilight showing, one large box of popcorn, one bottle of water and one small lemonade = $40. Reminded me why I don’t go anymore. We’ll just get a DVD after this.

But there is no inflation comrade.

I used to like getting groceries but even what little I get, I have winced more than a little at checkout.

I know plenty of the willful blind and ignorant that will make any excuse in the world so they don’t have to blame their precious “wun” and the criminal party.

In 2008, I was making 76,000 plus an annual bonus that put me near the 6 figure income range. I was the sole breadwinner for my family of four. Then I lost my job in 2010. My next job paid much less and the bonus was a pittance compared to my previous employer ... so my wife had to go back to work teaching 1st grade. Then I lost another job. I now make the same salary with no bonus at all. Together, we make a little more than I was making on my own before the 2010 layoff.

Factor that in with the cost of everything skyrocketing ... no, I’m not doing better under Obama’s administration. Not at all.

Don’t blame his minions at all is the key. He said he would do all of this.

Obama is doing everything he wants.

If his supporters don’t understand that, then you SHOW them how ignorant they are.
