Character and honest would be nice!
Having said this before...I voted for Obama but the changes he did or didn't make were not in our best interest. Are all of you any better off since he's been in office? Few are. Just saying.....

Actually yes we are better off, only because the $CDN is just about par. We already have health insurance but if the government wants to offset the high premiums I will not object.

Yes, without question. There are probably between 5-7m people who are better off than if he weren't in office.

Correct and that's the part that "...goes against my grain......".
Point was, he is the closest thing to what the other have always claimed to be. In that regard Newt is......not even on the same planet.

Actually? Yes, I am. But, that's just me.

I'm not but that was due to my decision to move and not so much the admin or congress. Though more, better paying jobs to chose from would be nice

In the future, I see more, but lower quality jobs coming down the pike. We are on the downward spiral when it comes to quality of employment (Pay and benefit-wise.), and I blame both parties.
My old man had wages strong enough to support a family of nine, full pension and health benefits for life.
You and I will never see that.
Welcome to the twenty first century.
The tide will rise. But, this time around you can bet your ass it will only lift a handful of boats.
The New World Order is moving right along.

Truth there though I have outstanding benefits and walked in the door with them. Shame pay did not match but I guess it's better to have fair pay and good bennies than nothing at all.
Glad we worried about bring up all those other places around the world we now compete with. Great planning there.
