I think the point is that it's less than half of what it was 5 years ago. If you were smoking 5 packs of cigarettes a day a month ago, but now you are down to two, I'd be like congratulations -- keep doing what you are doing.
My 401K is more than double what it was back then.
Plus, I'm way better off than I was in 2008 and I suspect you are, too.
You have to admit things are going in the right direction, right?
So, maybe "things" -- and "the CEO" you were talking about -- aren't quite as bad as you make them out to be. :roll eyes:
Where both t and you run off the rails is the fact that this country and government is far bigger than one person. I've never quite understood the fascination with blaming or exalting said individual for everything that is going on at any given time. Sure, the president sets a lot of the policies, but by in large the overall economy is independent of whoever is in office at the time.
