Are you better off today than you were 6 years ago?

Question

As an individual, are your assets and pay greater than it was 6 years ago?

Answer 1

No, I'm afraid that I am still trying to recover from the Clinton fiasco! Thanks for asking.

In federal economics it takes 3 to 8 years for things to really change for the country as a whole. I used to be a materials manager and the manager that was in place before I was hired waited until his last 6 months and then didn't buy anything for the plant. When I rolled in we had absolutely nothing to work with and it took me almost 2 years to finally come up to speed with our needs and to bring the processes up to date. Who looked better? It certainly wasn't me; all of the managers above me was touting that as*hole as how lean he operated his last year in the job and why couldn't I do at least as good. He, of course, went on to a fat promotion in CA.

Things are not always as they seem but you probably have your mind made up. I don't like President Bush's economic policy because he continued on with Free Trade Agreements, started in 1975 by Jimmy Carter. I also don't like his illegal alien policy, I think they should be shot when found. I also believe that he should have bombed Iraq into oblivion before we ever entered the country and then drained the oil but I don't have his information so I won't second guess him.

Answer 2

My boyfriend is having difficulty now. But don't blame it on Bush. He has a lot of rental property & his property taxes have more than doubles, thanks to the liberals in the county offices. So next time your rent goes up, remember. Maybe it isn't a greedy Republican landlord trying to make more money off the poor. Maybe it is a good businessman just trying to keep his head above water. He actually suspects the bigots in the neighborhood are a big force in the laws which make rental property owners pay a higher portian of rent. They hope to make it too expensive for him to have rental property in the neighborhood so he will sell to people who will tear down an apartment that houses 8 families (many minorities) & build a single family home on it (for rich families). (The niegborhood he has homes in borders with a well-to-do neighborhood & there is a class war going on.)

Answer 3

Yes ; but the main thing is there has been no repeat of 9/11 .
Assets mean nothing without life and liberty .

Answer 4

Yaes, and it has nothing to do with the President (just as for those who are worse off today than they were 6 years ago).

Answer 5

6 years ago the company I work for only employed Americans. Now 70% are in India and there is not a day I go to work that I don't wonder if it will be my last. I make more money but my mental health is shot. Thank you republicans.

Answer 6

My mom is not any more suitable constructive off b/c no baby left in the back of, she has no time to teach the little ones some thing yet the thanks to take a attempt and he or she teaches in a room in the interior city that has roaches, mice, and now mould after a flood and now has to hotel to complaining to OSHA b/c it truly is hurting her health.
