Are You Better Off Now Than Four Years Ago?

[thereisnospoon]

Nice.
Bush drives us into a depression with a whopping 5% unemployment rate, positive economic growth, the stock market hitting record highs, gasoline just over a dollar, yet Obama has nothing to do with the economy?
Put the pipe down.

It must be nice to selectively pick and choose what reality to believe.

Oh fuck off. If there were a republican in the White House you libs would be screaming right now.

Are You Better Off Now Than Four Years Ago?

Yes

Hell NO!

Actually, yes I am, but that is as much a personal bit of good fortune as it is anything to do with this economy.

Middle class republicans who vote in favor of the top 1% will likely lose their homes when interest rates skyrocket, because their representatives vote against extending the debt ceiling. Sad but true.

You mean if we don't borrow more money we can't afford to borrow more???

Pushed any wheelchairs of a cliff lately?

Interesting. You are paying twice as much for energy, your neighbor is out of a job, foreclosures are driving down property rate, but you're better off?
Toke it up.

Their groceries are sky high too. But being lieberals they naturally tend to paint a pretty picture for obiedoodle. now if President Bush were in office it would be another story and it would be all his fault cause he's a white guy donchyaknow?

Most Republicans are smart enough to know the difference between an ARM and a locked rate.

The simplest answer one can give to someone who's playing such a silly game...

... "everything obama has done is the cause of the poor economy, growing government and our horrendous national debt/deficit."

Oh, so the Stimulus being 40% tax cuts and extending the Bush Tax Cuts is the cause of the poor economy? TIL!

You have a link to the union pay off, a.k.a. stimulus, being 40% "new" tax cuts?

There have been about 1.1 trillion in tax cuts since the recession began.

1. 288 billion in the 2009 stimulus

2. 800 billion in the Republican budget busting blackmail 2010 stimulus II, and,

the one you all forgot

3. 80 billion in the Bush stimulus of 2008.

Bert, we can link battle all night long, but at the end of it all the fact will still remain, our nations economy is in the toilet, or do you want to deny that?

Depends how you define the economy being in the toilet. Things aren't exactly great at the moment but they have been far worse. The biggest thing that hasn't recovered from this latest recession is the jobs and that's because the companies are not hiring. I wouldn't blame that on Obama either.

You sure as hell should. His anti businness policies and threats of tax hikes, not to mention what's it's going to cost them to insure each and every employeee. If you don't blame it on obiedoodle it's cause you are a partisan hack job. butt kisser.

Anyone amused by the arbitrary selection of 2007 as the 'are you better off now' year to work from??

I wonder if we'll be hearing it next year, especially if the economy job market improves.
