Sure I am. My medical insurance has doubled, my grocery bills have gone up 30% and my dear nephew was slaughtered in Iraq. But I know I'n better off because the non-caring , corrupt meglomaniac who's in the White House says I am.

I am personally, but it wasn't without a lot of struggle. I have been laid off jobs on 3 occasions since 9/11. The first time I found work quickly, the second time the work I found shut down. Getting my unemployment was a joke, I lost my home, couldn't find work. (I live in the highest unemployment area in the whole US). When I finally did get my unemployment it was around five grand all at once because it took them so long to get me a check. When I found work again it only lasted for seven months and our jobs were eliminated. I was out of work again, my unemployment came through but was only enough to cover my rent and one utility bill. I had to deliver papers and babysit to cover the rest. At this point I was fed up and went back to college. I took a few computer classes and brushed up on some things. I am now running a local business and making more than I had in the past. But the economy is still bad, and we do wonder if the business will stay afloat.

Better of by leaps and bounds but I think that it is thanks to our hard work. I don't blame Clinton because I was doing less well when he was in office nor do I credit Bush for my current fortune. I am glad that the Stock market is doing this well though.

Not really, a few things are better. But the bad outweighs the good.
