Posted on 10/10/2011 2:55:26 PM PDT by The_Obama_Gerbil

Every working American has lost a fortune since King O'Bozo took office and put an end to small business! Tell us your story. What do you do for a living,and if you lost your job and/or still working for less hours/wages, how much would you say you have lost in the last three years? I would imagine some of you may have lost upwards to a million.

you can also add the equity Obama stole from your home. In my case, I am estimating at least $80,000 down the drain!

Could some list to me all the reasons why he’s hurt small business? EPA? Frank-Dodd? Anything else?

I’ve lost about 25% of my income for the last three years, and have been playing the trade game with my 401k to keep the earnings from Obama fake stock market recovery.

I don’t want to total it up I might kill myself.

Let’s just say over $500K in net worth lost, and a somewhat lower ‘run rate’ is our “new normal”

Yet we are doing OK because we are responsible and prudent adults.

Net worth has actually has actually gone up 16.5% since the punk POTUS took office (Jan. '09). Of course I am a damn savy investor who will do fine whoever is in.

I have micro-managed this sucker since 1990, and the only down year I have had was 2008, and that year it only went down 4.5%

I initially lost 4000 in the stock market but made it up. But our health care premiums are going up faster each year.

Between decreased income, decreased value of homes, and decrease in value of investments, I would estimate at least $1M.

You can post all the info you want. I am not going to tell our personal finance story to someone on the interwebs, who signed up on FR less than a month ago, just because they ask.

Hard to say. My income is derived from the Veterans Administration, so basically from you hard-working taxpayers, for which I am extremely grateful. However I do not remember if I’ve gotten a COLA increase (not that I am asking for one) since Obama was elected.

I do not expect a COLA increase anytime soon nor should one be forthcoming. This government needs to drastically cut spending, not increase it.

60K probably. And that is just with the regulations and over-reaching of JUST Obama and the Dem’s since 2009. If I were to go back to when Nancy and Harry took to their first terror crusades against America starting back in 07; probably higher.
