Obama loves it when a plan comes together. Don’t doubt for a minute that he’d love for all of us to be equally miserable except for him and others he appoints to be in the ruling class.

“Obama is being delusional if he thinks that he is actually “running the economy”.”

Although he may seem to know what he’s doing, however detrimental to the country, he also seems to be deluded
by his aggrandizement.

I posted this on another thread. It is NOT meant to hijack this thread in a disposable vs. cloth debate! It is just anecdotal economic issues!

Here’s a look at the economy from a mom’s perspective: When my son was born in September 2008, a box of generic Walmart dipes was $12.89 while a box of Pampers was $19.99. My daughter was born in August 2011 and a box of generic Walmart dipes was $14.99 while the Pampers were $23.99. Our second daughter will arrive any day now and generic Walmart dipes are $19.99. I don’t know what Pampers are, although looking at the price might send me into labor. We’re in the middle of an addition and remodel and we found some stuff packed away in dipe boxes from 2008. There were more dipes per box than in today’s box. Price up, quantity down in five short years. Wipes are about the same price, but the quantity has been cut in half.

In addition, next potty break check out the width of your toilet paper vs. the width of your toilet paper holder. The tp used to run end to end. How many inches short is it now? Ice cream? That’s not a half-gallon you just bought. Look at the one pound container of coffee and then squint at the weight. It’s actually only 12 ounces. Prices up combined with quantity down. That’s an obama recovery, spit.

“#5 40 percent of all workers in the United States actually make less than what a full-time minimum wage worker made back in 1968.”

At first glance that just doesn’t seem possible!

This is just the economic portion of how Zero is destroying America. I cannot be in the same room with someone who voted for him. I have severed friendships with people because they voted for him twice and still do not get it. It is not a political issue. I cannot be around toxic or ignorant people. Zero is evil and those who support him are under evil’s spell.

I pray that something changes, but I think we are so far gone, the only way it will change is after a revolution.

If you want a shock, check out how prices have changed over the years by clicking here: Historic prices: Morris County, NJ.

This is a compilation of prices for common (often brand name) goods as quoted in the ads in the Morristown Daily Record during the year stated. It was prepared by the Morris County Library. And it drives home the point about the government's debasement of the currency ... perfectly.

I am not defending the pres, but country was pretty much at a stand still when he took office. There are probably around 75 million more cars on the road in China than when he took office.

I think there’s a lot of that going around. People wearing out their welcome or just walking away from oddly matched acquaintances over their differences. While you say that “it is not a political issue”, I see where it is that and more. They’re basically dumping each other because politics, PC and office politics are more a part of everything than they’ve ever been.

You know, they called Reagan’s economic policies “voodoo economics,” I dub Obama’s “zombie economics.” It LOOKS like it’s alive, but it shambles, stalls and moans, animated by only mysterious forces.

I’ve been separating myself from the ‘rat, RINO, socialist, totalitarian bootlickers for a long time (at work and in my personal life) and pounding these creeps anytime a political discussion comes up. It’s been fun and easy. Life has been fantastic. My family has always been on the same page. As we see the destruction they’ve caused, our resolve grows stronger and our bonds grow tighter.

The ironic thing is I think the zombie myth came from voodoo.

You’re right but all the oil WE need is in our ground and the government refuses to license extraction. All of it is available at essentially no tax payer cost.
