The entire country’s hanging by a frayed thread after 7 years of this bozo, if that answers anything.

ANYONE who claims they are better off today than seven years ago is either insane or works for the government (the two are not mutually exclusive).

He drones, on and on about how bad politics have become. That Lincoln or Roosevelt with their gifts might have been able to heal the divide that has only gotten worse.
I don’t think Lincoln would have created a riot Czar, AL Sharpton, and sent him in and out of the white house to start riots. Maybe respecting other Americans was above Mr. Obamas abilities as a human being, raised in the islamic world with an Islamic father and step father. Piss be upon him and his prophet who rots in hell.

Portfolio is up about 19% because of me, and despite Obama.

That is NJ in a nutshell; companies and their workers are fleeing as our government worker caste sucks us dry. As real jobs leave, our government workers are our upper middle class - and practically the only Americans breeding.

Nothing drives up stock prices like dumping their American workers; the stock market is inversely related to Americans’ standard of living.

There was a SOTU last night, totally could care less but I usually know when such events take place.
Honestly I don’t care for that crap, especially from Obama because he talks down to people like an insecure professor who should be working at the fry cooker instead but is given authority over undergrads.

I’m not criticizing the investment vehicle, just explaining (partially) why many stocks are doing so well. They’ve been chopping costs (us) for years.

In one respect I am, at least on paper than I was seven years ago.
Seven years ago I was in a horrible low paying state job with a PHB-ette psycho boss. After many ups and downs leaving there, I landed a contract job at a factory that turned into the best paying job I ever had.
Taxes and other ripoffs of course take their heavy toll.
In most other respects I am no better just like most real people.

I don’t know. I see all the newborn’s listed in the Sunday paper. A majority of them are born to parents with differing last names. The listed careers of the parents aren’t predominately government. If they even have one. Don’t know about where you live or if it’s just a location thing, but we have our share of government in NY for sure.

I’m in northern NJ; it seems anyone with multiple children is either a government worker or on welfare (instead of workfare).

A majority of them are born to parents with differing last names.I can remember 50 years ago when something like that would be jaw dropping, scandalous, and met with whispers.
Maybe the most telling example of how badly morals have fallen in the past couple generations.
