In February, 2009, I wrote for the Wall Street Journal an article entitled Reaganomics versus Obamanomics. The article explained that the emerging Obamanomics was pursuing exactly the opposite of every policy of the enormously successful Reaganomics, and predicted that it would produce exactly the opposite results.
Well, the results are in, and under President Obama the American people have now suffered the worst 5 years since the Great Depression, as first explained by Steve McCann of the American Thinker on January 25. McCann writes,
From 2009 through 2012, the Obama cabal, and their allegiance to statist policies, has been in charge for four years. The global financial crisis took place in the previous year, 2008 [remember the Democrat majority Congress was elected in 2006], and based on the historical pattern of American economic recovery since the depression years, the United States should have been experiencing broad and significant economic and job growth by year three at the latest.
Instead what America got by year five was fewer jobs than before. Even though the employment age population has increased by nearly 12 million since January, 2008, there are now 3 million fewer Americans working, with employment declining from 146.3 million in January, 2008 to 143.3 million in December, 2012. If America enjoyed the same labor force participation rate as in 2008, the unemployment rate in December, 2012 would have been 11.4%, compared to 4.9% in December, 2007, under President George Bush and his failed economic policies of the past. We wont see 4.9% unemployment in America again until the statest takeover of America is purged.

lol, I’ve actually floated that to some people. Nobody seems to want to bite on it! lol
I am so sorry to hear that and I truly empathize. I am right there with you. It sure seems to have made the slugs of the nation quite happy. Nothing better for them then to see others pulled down with them. The whole lot of them disgust me.
I told some that I held them personally responsible back in 2008. One told me I couldn’t speak to her that way since was a client!
Your story is very similar to mine....
