In shambles? Hmmm............ The market is bouncing around 15,000. More jobs are being created. We are getting out of two useless wars. We are beginning the switch from fossil fuels to renewables. I would say the nation is doing well. So well, in fact, that the "Conservatives" are crying their eyes out. After their best attempts to scuttle any recovery, we are well along the path to recovery. After their best attempts to destroy any improvement in the health care system, we are implementing improvements.
The "Conservatives" want to go back to January, 2009, when the market was in freefall, and we were losing over 500,000 jobs a month. So they can once again lecture us on how the people on unemployment are a bunch of freeloaders, and should be happy to work for 50 cents an hour.
Which renewable fuels? Batteries in cars that use electricity to recharge, that we get from coal?
Dow is not THE single indicator, unemployment is not better, people are giving up, wages are lower than before Bush, people are under more economic stress, they are upside down on mortgages. Food stamps are at an all time high, disability claims are at an all time high. NSA, IRS, FBI, and other government groups are targeting Americans and harassing them.
Yeah, we are doing so much better, Gitmo is open, we have no transparency in government, remember when a complete bill was online for at least 5 days before the President signed it? Oh wait, that didn't happen. What about the reduced health care cost? Wait, that hasn't happened either, BTW, Pelosi in her freaked out brilliance claimed we needed to pass a bill to know what's in it? Nobody has yet to interpret the Health Care bill, so another Democrat lie. Which is another reason businesses are reluctant to hire.
And then you get on here and lie, by telling us everything is great.
