Are Better Off Today Than You Were Three Years Ago?

The elections are about 10 months off and we already are hearing all the promises from both parties. Rather than addresses his first three years in office, Democrat strategist are saying he will blame Congress, viz., the Republicans, for all the nations problems in his efforts to get re-elected. But is he forgetting that he had full control of both houses of Congress for the first two years and never even proposed a budget.
As an auctioneer of real estate, both residential and commercial, I am very concerned about 2012. The banks are still not lending, and foreclosures are continuing at a steady pace. The national media would tell us that foreclosures are decreasing but the truth is the banks are slowing down their foreclosure process. They would rather have the homeowner stay in the home and make no payments than to have some Wall Street Occupier move in and trash it. It like saying the unemployment rate is decreasing when the truth is, many Americans have simply given up looking for a job.

This nation is on the brink of collapse both financially, economically and socially, via class warfare. (The have not's versus the haves.) Capitalism is trying to be replaced with Marist Socialism. More and more people are depending on the government to look after them. Where has the spirit of "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" gone?

Do you know what the price per gallon of gas was on the day Obama took office? Do you know what the unemployment rate was? How many people were on food stamps? What our national debt was?  I simply ask you," Are you better off today than you were three years ago?

When I showed these figures to a young Democrat friend and asked him who he was going to vote for, he answered, "Anybody but Obama."
