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.

Tell us your story

Who is "us"?

I would imagine some of you may have lost upwards to a million."

Why would you think that? Are conservatives all rich?

Who are you?

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

Do you count lost income from higher health insurance rates?

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.

The gutting of NASA killed the contract $ for what I was working on, so I just retired a bit early. Now sucking off of SS. Could have kept working for a few more years, saving yet more in the 401k, but I got nervous about what the liberals might have in mind, so I bailed out while I could.

My IRA lost about 20% before I put it all in cash during the last part of the Bush adm......House has lost about 40% of its value. No mortgage on it, but for selling its a big loss...Don't tell me that cash is also a loss of income...I know that, but not as big a loss as the Stock market was...wish I had sold when Dow was at 14000, sold everything at 12000.But the cd's are giving me at least 4% until they mature, then the % will be way down...

Not complaining, many are in far worse situations..I have no mortgage or car payment or kids to put through school..

Hmmm. Not including my home, a hundred thousand is a little over the top.

Zero has only cost me about forty thousand, if you count that we couldn’t find a cheap used car like we usually would have gotten for our latest vehicle. (We went to the used car lot of the new car dealer we’ve always bought from before, and he had -what - seven cars in our range? Thanks, Cash for Clunkers.)

Of course, including my house...

My household is in the oil field, law and Austin real estate.

Law is always good, real estate is slightly up, but price of oil has fallen over the last couple months.

That’s a bit scary.
