No. I'm a little worse off. I don't really blame any politicians. I don't have as much debt...yet...as I had 4 years ago. But that will soon change, due to medical bills....because we're scanning to find either Guillain-Barre, or Multiple Sclerosis. (Sorry...momentary self pity). I'm okay, but just have diminished sensation from my ribs down, and almost no sensation in my fingers.
Just a little pissed off, because this will probably cost in the 5 digits to figure out. Even with insurance.
But back to the subject. Gasoline prices are astronomical, as are the costs of food, compared to 4 years ago. But much of that is beyond human control. It's human nature to look for someone to blame.
Obama, Pelosi, and Reid didn't kill the crops. Pelosi does enjoy her insider trading, but we can't blame everything on her.
But just a word of advice for those of you who are doing okay, and insulting those whom you perceive as "deadbeats": I had small medical problems that were easily controlled by medications. But I was pretty healthy...engaging in rock-climbing, kayaking, rappelling, swimming, hiking, etc..regularly. 11 days ago, I noticed a little numbness in my left foot. And the next morning, I awoke with numbness from my chest down. Crap happens, and again, I don't want sympathy.
This is just my warning against those who are complacent in a fragile house of cards. I didn't see this coming; and my future right now, is uncertain at best. Be kind to others; because you never know when you might have to walk in their shoes. And many people who are in a bad way now, probably had a background similar to mine-they had worked for years, had health insurance, had their health, took no charity-but contributed to charitable organizations.
