From both a national security stand point and an economic stand point overall I would say we are worse off. But, Obama I would say this regarding B fund, and Known crew member...... ALPA bought and paid for KCM and my negotiators paid for the B fund with negotiating capital. FAR 117 has been in the works since 2005, of which I was an original working group member appointed by ALPA. It took a long time to pull that off. My best year under Clinton was $24K, and my guard unit down-sized from 24 to 15 PAA, so I wasn't all that crazy about Mr. Arkansas.
It does seem that the economy grows stronger under Republican leadership though. Mostly due to regulations and tax policy.
What part of the economy are you talking here? Look at the umemployment rates under Republican presidents in the last 25-30 years and compare that to under Democrats. Yes the military gets cutbacks but I wouldn't say we're less safe. How much did Bush II cost this country in dollars and lives going into Iraq when they had nothing to do with 9/11? Under who's watch was OBL killed? Just saying I don't believe the Fox news scare mantra of Dems being weak on national security.
