The nightmare of Obama continues everyday through his cronies and adherents in the public. I’m so sick of everything I see on the TV and read on the Net. Anyone alive during the 70s who can tell me if it was this bad back then?
I am 62 and definitely around in the 70’s. It wasn’t “openly” this bad. I’m certain there was the same plethora of corruption, etc. However, the politicians, AG’s, and people of position and power were not allowed to run amok as they seem to be now. What’s going on now is all but “expected” of our so-called leaders. Society of the 70’s wasn’t as complacent as they are now either; there’s only a handful of people now that even give a damn about what’s happening beyond their own sought after greed.

“. Anyone alive during the 70s who can tell me if it was this bad back then?”
NEVER!
It’s far worse now. Economically, it was not good, however, most were equally strapped. Seen the 70’s show? High style! Mod houses looked like the set, traditional ones were a bit different, but mostly the same hideous colors!
No internet, so most didn’t really know how big an idiot Carter was. It was more of a ‘feeling’, but no 24/7 analysis.
Also, even Carter was not so deliberately provocative as is our Dear Leader.
Didn’t know of people stockpiling food and buying PM’s. Dollar was stronger then. Now, we’ve not got a cushion, unless you subscribe to the ‘US fiat is less crappy than most other fiat currency’ point of view.
