I don’t know about anyone else here but I was doing very well economicly during the eight years of George W.Bush’s term.

I didn’t start feeling the pain until the Clown Prince was elected.This Clown has done so much damage it’s unbelievable.

I had a job that paid well, $90K + the entire Bush presidency. Due to economic downturn and personal stuff, Haven’t had a full time job since two weeks after O’Blamer was ELECTED POTUS.

What people forget is that the Unemployment rate was below 7% until December 2008 when Businesses started shedding jobs like a stripper sheds clothes at the knowledge of Obama getting in. Hell, it was below 6% until August 2008 when it became a certainty that McCain wasn’t going to attempt to get elected and Obama would be elected.

I did better and better under Reagan and G.H.W. Bush, I started downhill under Clinton, recovered somewhat under G.W. Bush and things have gotten tougher and tougher since 2008. The cost of living has risen very rapidly while the people responsible lie and say that the inflation rate is too low or even nonexistent, like saying there are no alligators in Louisiana. I recall when two hundred a week was a dream, only an exalted few had a hope of earning that kind of income. Now two hundred a day for a five day week is a pittance, worth far LESS than twenty a day was worth when I first hit twenty a day. An overnight stay in a hospital can run up a bill equal to a year’s stay when I was a little tyke.

I consider myself lucky to have a job.

But, since Obama, my salary has been frozen, then cut, then partially restored, but still less than when he came into office. Meanwhile, the cost of everything continues to skyrocket.

Our heads are still above water, but if you extrapolate out a few years out, they won’t be.

I know a lot of people are a lot worse off, and, sadly, it’s through no fault of their own.

I make much more than ever before. Somehow, my standard of living has not improved. Inflation for things like energy and food is killing me.

Things were fine until Pelosi took over Congress and started ramming through her leftist agenda. Then, thanks to Barney Frank and his corrupt friends, the financial "crisis" came to a head suspiciously just at the perfect time to help sway the elections.
