I have to just say this. Am I better off now than 4 or 8 yrs ago? Nope..Was I better off in the previous 8 yrs?? NOPE. What makes you think that you are going to be better off in any future time?? The liberals in the government are not going to leave. The middle level bureaucrats are the ones that really run this country. Ya think not? They can't be gotten rid of...they keep making themselves more and more important and they keep expanding their powers. If you think not just look at the welfare beaurocracy. Look at the ones who run it. If you really need help from that agency...you'd better have some strong help politically. The problems this country are facing right now have been coming since the late 80's early 90's...maybe before. When NAFTA was passed we lost big time. Also lost when the powers that be decided that we(the US) would be the worlds policeman(1970's BTW Jimmy Carter). We lost a lot of jobs with NAFTA and a lot of money being the policeman. The war on Terror has been an expensive proposition but in my opinion it has been working. We haven't been "attacked" as we were in 9-11. again. At least not yet. If we did not pursue this course I can tell ya that it would have happened again by now. Those namby pamby liberals would have given in to those low life scum by now otherwise....and as they say do we have the resolve to save ourselves? I can guarantee you that osamma bama or Hillary will not do what is necessary to save this country. And to be honest I wonder if there is anyone in the other parties who have the resolve either. Maybe McCain but I doubt it. Personally I feel that if you are concerned with money only then you don't deserve or should expect to keep the other rights that you enjoy in this country. Vote your pocketbook...but when the gestapo comes for your guns or to take away any other rights remember with whom the blame lies!!
Oh and by the way..not flaming you personally..just had it up to my neck with people saying am I better off? Heck no... and I've never been better off after any presidential term in office. And I doubt if any one can say they were. May have made more money...but it sure as hell cost more to live too!!
