In 1982, there also wasn’t a socialist idiot in the White House.
--the idea being that we're still doomed? Not really; Mr. O may be bad but saying he'll destroy America is like saying SUV's will destroy the planet. Mrs. B.S. Roberts called right in post 5, by pointing out that "scary" isn't "doomed", and that when we leave the slump the O worship will stretch recovery talk all out of proportion.
But a jew hating socialist moron had just left...a big mess.
True, but we were still recovering from the one that occupied it two years prior (Carter.)
I remember 1982. I graduated college early and was job hunting into early 1983. Took me 9 months to find a job back then, it was horrible.
I know the numbers today aren't as bad as back then, but boy it sure does feel like it. My heart goes out to those who've been looking for employment.
