		<description>Better off?  I lost my job in the first hundy.  Based upon logic I have heard (9/11 on Bush&#039;s watch)...that means my layoff falls directly on Barry&#039;s shoulders.

Unlike the pitiful people I read about praising the One for COBRA and porkulus, I searched my a$$ off and found another job instead of waiting for the government cheese to fall into my lap out of another taxpayers pocket.

Better off? I make my own better, always have and always will.</description>

		<description>6 million out of work now and 600,000 more each week.
A promise yet fulfilled of 3.5 million jobs and we are at Day 100. 
3 million plus that will have nothing to look forward to because the One and Only looks at only creating 3.5 million and that is only on paper. He loves to call those numbers into play whenever and where ever he can.
The only thing I can see he has done is alienate our friends, kiss our enemies ass, sell out America wholesale and sleep with Michele. Lets&#039; see the historians print that!!</description>

		<description>&quot;By the way, are you better off than you were 100 days ago?&quot;

Heck no and it&#039;s looks as though the next 100 days are going to be an uphill battle also.

Don Surber has the &quot;official&quot; 100 days, 100 mistakes  list:

		<description>Wouldn&#039;t it be interesting to see a category breakdown of the &quot;government spending&quot; that shrunk &quot;3.9%&quot;?

Now, I&#039;m not an expert on the federal government&#039;s budget, but everybody knows that there are 4 categories of &quot;spending&quot; that constitute about 80% of federal spending:
- Social Security - absolutely went UP, not down
- Mediaire/Medicaide - not a chance it went down
- Defense - hmmmm
- Debt Service -  curiously enough, the average 3-month Tbill rate from Apr 2007 to Mar 2008 was 3.7%, whereas the average rate from Apr 2008 to Mar 2009 was 9/10th of 1%

You know, I did do a bit of research on Heritage.org and discovered that debt service in 2008 was 243B of  2.9T total spending (about 8% of spending).

Gee, uh, a reduction of interest of 110B would be a 3.9% &quot;spending&quot; reduction in the total budget, and uh, interest rates fell by 75% in the period we are talking about..

You don&#039;t think......no, it could never happen.....that the Moron would claim he &quot;reduced spending&quot; when the reduction was actually due to a dramatic reduction in debt service.

That and reductions in military spending that offset increases everywhere else.

These contemptable conmen are the MOST OUTRAGEOUS LIARS OF ALL TIME.</description>

		<description>&quot;The government also cut spending 3.9 percent, the most since the end of 1995.&quot;

Who knows, the economic stimulus money won&#039;t be spent until 2050, and the only TARP money that actually got spent happened last October or whenever.  The regular government operations were frozen at previous levels due to democrats not passing the last Bush appropriations bill until Obama came into office.  Sure we have obligated ourselves to spend every penny we&#039;ll ever earn on porkulus interest, but maybe the actual government spending declined in this last quarter.</description>

		<description>Intersting comparison. Let&#039;s see - who was President previous to 1969 (John Kerry, don&#039;t answer with your searing memory) and what exactly was going on in America during these times????

Liberal engineering redux. Hand outs and drop outs over production. 

Thankfully this concluded with with Nixon &lt;b&gt;gaining&lt;/b&gt; 219 electoral votes from 1968 - 1972.

Take note folks - plenty of lessons to be learned here...</description>

		<description>SG:  &quot;&lt;strike&gt;Perhaps,&lt;/strike&gt; thanks to Obama, for the rest of our lives.&quot;

Fixed that for you Steve.

The angry mob  (TMCC:  The Moron&#039;s Criminal Cabal) in the White House has already done too much to be reversed.  It&#039;s already a Depression.

But by hook or by crook, numbers will appear mysteriously in 2010 to show a miraculous improvement, just in time for the elections.

Funny how that works.

And ordinarilly, predictions are very iffy.

But not this time.  It&#039;a a sure thing.</description>
