response to Pragmatic1:  Things ARE better.  What number would
you like to compare?  Stock market, unemployment, war
casualties?  Stock market is down based on gold.  Your are
talking a fiat money market.  You forgot about QE 1&2?  Gasoline
has been flat for 8 years, yet is up 200% with dollar since
Obama.  Follow Soros. He made over a billion on the credit
downgrade of the USA. He normally bets against America. That is
why he supports Obama. Check the facts.  Then we can check
poverty, food stamps, unemployment, under employment, confidence
levels, misery index.  You are obviously not economically adept.
How about calculating that 8.3% unemployment with the correct
figures,  The participation rate is 63.7% and is unrealistically
well below the 66% to 67% rate that was normal over the last 20
years.  Here is a graph of the latest recoveries. Pick the worst
one.  THIS IS WHY 7 of Obama's Chief Economic Advisers QUIT???
