Spence, let me throw it back atcha, do you feel you and our country are
better off now then 4 years ago?

I don't. I still have 2 family members that have been put
out of work over the last 3 years, one for 17 months now. Neither had a
problem for the last 15 years. More overtime then they could use.
As a retired person I have seen my IRA retirement fund go from earning 8% a year,
with a 70% bond 30% stock mix, to a paultry 2% which doesn't keep up with inflation.
When your lucky to get .01 % on your treasurey MMKT just to keep your $ safe,
that about says it all.

Gas prices from mid $2 to $3.50. Food prices up big time and on and on.
Go to the hardware store and tell me inflation hasn't sky rocketed.

His energy policy stinks. No new drilling! You gotta be kidin me, foreign oil
has us over a barrel. Spending tax money on Solyndra and 10 other companies
going broke to give the appearance "Green" is our savior? Pfft, what a joke.
Tell me I'm better off with this policy alone than I was 3 years ago. I'm not.

I could go on and on about how his spending policies, wanting to spread the wealth
around, more government regulations, bigger government, increasing the defecit
and taking us down the socialistic road and how it will affect my kids and Grandkids.
Lovin my kids and Grandkids and what his policies will do to them now and in the future is the biggest impact on my life.

Do I blame it ALL on him?, no, but he is the leader and sets the tone.
