My 401K turned into a 201K but has come back but not where it could have been. I don't blame Obama for that the economy took a worldwide hit. I don't really think that the democrat congress or Bush could have avoided it. But in that regard I am about even.
As for hiring, Obama and Congress has nothing to do with the private sector.
Pay wise I am doing better because I made decisions that allowed me to make more money, again nothing to do with anything the government did.
My house is probably worth more then it was it was never really effected by the bubble.
I made money on frackin' which again has nothing to do with the government.
That said, we really are not better off in my opinion. It may appear that way if we want it to appear that way but we are not. My company, which is quite big, told me the minute that Obamatax passed that after 2014 we were on our own concerning health care. This is after I took a job without Union representation. So now I am without while, for now, they are good. Which does effect me because I am always thinking ahead to retirement. When I took this job I had 3 years of health care after retirement, now I have zero.
Then there is the one thing I can not forgive Obama, the debt he has placed on our grandchildren and us. The economy was always going to recover if Obama did nothing, we are actually too big and diversified to fail. But the debt is become too massive too big. Our credit rating has once again been downgraded, that means we are not better off in that regard.
We can also talk about the division in the country it is worse then I have seen in my life time. Even during the Nixon administration the country was more united. Carter united us in dislike for him. Yes, I blame the democrats and you can blame the Republicans, and that is the problem.
It's really racism. Republicans are 90% white. They don't want to work with minorities, they want to suppress them. Just like they are doing with the vote. They can't say it's about ID anymore. Not with cutting hours in Democratic areas and admitting they are targeting blacks.
