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:
I am talking about the rate of reduction. Of course, you have to factor in the DC speak of reducing the planned on increase in spending, and not actually reducing spending. And the grab of 1/3 of the economy is hardly what I would call inspiring. Now he's crowing about 8 million that got health coverage... after how many million LOST coverage? No. he's a total douchebag.
But he's right, I didn't build that.
We'll just have to agree to disagree.
