I am, but these types of questions are irrelevant in my opinion and a tremendous sign of what’s wrong with American perceptions of government.

I most certainly shouldn’t be worse off because of the actions of the President, but it’s not his job, no matter who he is, to ensure my prosperity, either.

I have to agree. I am better off now then 8 years ago, not because of anything our elected officials have done, but because of hard work. I will be better off 8 years from now then I am today, again not because of the actions or lack of actions from DC, but because of the dedication of my wife and kids to live better today then they did yesterday.

I don't rely on government "handouts". (except my military pay) I pay all my bills, all six of us get to eat, and we are happy what more could you ask for?
