the big picture

[washamericom]

are we much better off now than we were two years ago, as promised by the president and congress ?

 

[topspin]

yes, total output is but a smidgeon below pre recession level.

 

[Truthmatters]

Yes we are.

I think he is referring to before te elections.

I'm better off now in spite of the current President and Congress.

 

[Meister]

Better off? Pretty vague term, I would think. Unemployment is higher than it was 2 years ago, deeper in debt than 2 years ago.....more spending than 2 years ago. More taxes are looming than 2 years ago. I dunno know....need to have some consideration to ask that.

For now I'm doing about the same.

Just have that sinking feeling that that big assed shoe is getting ready to drop.

Good job, right winger. Play to your base. Too bad your poll did not pan out as you had hoped. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Personally, I'm about the same... but sure do have lots of friends on the unemployment line right now. Not that they're complaining. Two years of 'free money' from Uncle Sugar helps soften the blow of doing nothing worthwhile all day except watching Oprah.

Libbies must be so proud of all they've accomplished.

no it's not a when did you stop beating question...
when the campaigning was going on (before the election) there were claims and promisis made, and i was just wondering if the people that voted for "change we need" are better off (happier.. economocally not struggling, employed, secure, with an optimistic outlook), ...with the change they got

I would expect to see some promising signs.....and we really haven't seen that. Anyone look at the housing market numbers over the last 2 days?

 

[Big Black Dog]

I was retired two years ago and I am still retired. My status really hasn't changed all that much except you can't make any money on interest anymore... Lots of my friends are much worse off with unemployment and the rotten job market.

maybe things aren't as bad as we are so informed

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

We're not as bad off as we could be... haven't you heard?

Could you show us a link where the new unemployment are wrong, and the housing numbers were wrong? Please by all means, show us where it's not that bad....or is it that your a partisan hack?

 

[washamericom]

this is an amazingly close poll. off year elections are always a referendum on the congress and whitehouse. maybe two years isn't much time to turn things around.
