Are you Better off now than 2 years ago?

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

After two years of Obama and a democrat senate plus 1.5 years of a democrat house and and half a year of a republican house are you better off now than you were 2 years ago?

So did the stimulus, tarp, bailouts, and health care bill help or hurt you in the end? Take the poll and let us know.

 

[rightwinger]

Yes......my 401k has recovered

 

[Anguille]

I'm not sure if I'm better off, but I like to think positive.

 

[Ravi]

Yes. I made more money last year than the previous year and this quarter has already surpassed last year's 1st quarter.

Might want to get your facts straight.

The Dems have held Congress since 07'. The GOP has only held the House since Jan of this year. That's a little over one month. We still have Obama screwing up in the White House and a Dem controlled Senate. What would you have the Repugs do?????

I think that the bailout kept the INSIDERS GAMES going and had the US taxpayer not come to the aid of the richest people in the world, the whole economy might have collapsed.

But as to the average American?

We are worse off now than we were and I see nothing on the horizon to suggest that anything Obama or the GOP plans on doing is going to make things better for US.

So did I but it doesn't go as far as it used to. Everything costs more now.

In 2009 I was going through a divorce, forclosure, and health problems... So far 2011 is looking GREAT!

The year is still young.

 

[Luissa]

Actually, yes I am. I made more last year than I did the previous two years. And I am on track to make double what I did last year. I have a better job, and my checks are double what they were.
I can also tell you my brother who owns a contraction company is building more houses than he was three years ago.

HA! Isn't that the truth... Especially working for the State, haven't seen a raise in over 3 yrs and now they're talking about laying people off. So much for living in a 'recession-proof' State but hey I'm going to stay positive about this year, we'll see how far that gets me.

 

[Two Thumbs]

We make more this year than ever before.

If me or my wife don't get a second job we will be pushed into government housing b/c the cost of food has gone threw the roof.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Yes......my 401k has recovered

Recovered??
Wow...isn't this hilarious folks?
2 years goes by and this one is happy his 401k "recovered" as if this is a good thing.
You should have had HUGE growth in your 401k..not just recovered.

Damn

 

[Toro]

Yes, I'm better off than I was two years ago. I am worth more than I was two years ago. But that's true of one year ago, three years ago, five years ago, etc.

 

[william the wie]

The fact is that as FUBARed as the US economy is it is in the best shape of anywhere in the world.

After all of the turmoil we've been seeing in the Middle East and here in the states I would try to find a safe place for your money, because a correction like you've never seen before is about to hit.

 

[DiveCon]

Actually, yes I am. I made more last year than I did the previous two years. And I am on track to make double what I did last year. I have a better job, and my checks are double what they were.
I can also tell you my brother who owns a contraction company is building more houses than he was three years ago.

what does a contraction company do?

write contracts?

 

[elvis]

Yes, I am better off, but that's not because of Obama.

The senate was tied 49 t0 49 dipshit. And Republicans held all three branches for 6 straight years. Name a single success about anything. Remember, ruining something doesn't make it a "success" even if it was "planned".
