hmmm how has my life changed?

1. due to Obamacare I now bring home less of my paycheck because of massively inflated health insurance rates with less coverage than before
2. My wife and just about everyone where she works has been cut to part-time because people have less disposable income and they can't justify home improvements as much
3. I have seen the price of gas skyrocket , eating up more disposable income
4. I have watched corn prices skyrocket due to the ethanol mandates of the Federal Govt. This in turn has increased all groceries dependent on corn in their cycle (ie feed for animals, etc)
5. I have watched my industry struggle through reduced government budgets because so much is being diverted to obamacare and handouts for the lazy (Gov't assistance to those that actually need it is still a good service)


so really, I have seen the demise of the "Middle Class"

Got me off the fence, and now I own XD40 Tactical firearm and a Mossberg Persuader shotgun. Been spending quality time at the range with my son too.

Well, we got a brand new Honda CR-V, thanks to the $4,500 subsidy he gave us for our old POS and nearly broken-down Windstar. If he promises another cash for clunkers dealio, I may have to vote for him. We have another car that's getting ready to fail.

Oh, and I think the globe has warmed 0.00000136 degrees.

I took a 10% pay cut at work.

The value of my house dropped even more.

Co-workers got layoff notices.

That's about it, so far. None of it good.

That's been happening since the hapless Bush junior, whom I initially supported, took over in 2001. Imagine an incompetent failure who was so terrible as Commander-in-Chief that he opened the door to the current cabal of governing fools. Yeah, the problems with illegal immigration & the savages in the middle east exacerbated matters but it's just gotten worse & affecting more screamers, er, folks now.

I've noticed no major discernible difference between the two administrations in how their policies have affected me. Both parties are inept, corrupt, and love Wall Street. They are also more interested in winning elections than in helping the average guy.

Did FuzzNJ just admit that Obama sucks or that George W Bush is great?

I agree wholeheartedly, Fuzz. Also agreed with your incisive assessment of Ayn Rand...but can't find the thread now.

Funny how "opposing" lines of political thought can find common ground. See? Obama AND Bush were uniters!!!w:d/ [jester] [jester]
