The government’s numbers tell me one thing, but those half empty strip malls I saw while shopping today tell me something else.

Sure this is pure BS. Wife lost her job in 2010, gave up looking in 2013 because she got tired of rejections and having to apply for jobs she previously managed. Meanwhile, Obamacare took an additional $4,800 out of our savings for her insurance premiums and raised the deductible from $1,250 to $6,000. The only bright spot is that I’m on Medicare and the one most likely to have medical problems. Of course if Obamacare is affirmed yet again, Medicare cuts will eliminate the pool of doctors and raise my supplemental premiums substantially. Sure wish Congress would pass a law limiting the pay of lawyers. We’ll call it Obamacare II and see how long it takes to get repealed.

They can’t help it. I work with an Obama lover. he was boasting how gas prices are under $3/gal. I grinned and told him it was funny how he saw prices go up from under $1.90?gal when Bush left, to over $4 and then averaging well over #4 for Obama’s tenure, then wanting to praise Obama when they get within a buck of when Bush left.
