Personally affected by Obama. I am on disability and my check is less this year than last year. Last year the government assisted me in paying for Medicare and covered my prescriptions. This year I pay for Medicare with no government help, and my prescriptions with no government help. Thank goodness the cost of rent hasn't gone up yet, but have you checked out the groceries. Oh Yeah! Tried to get a job part-time and there wasn't much to choose from and they weren't choosing me. Unemployment is at it's highest. Why did Obama have to give billions of dollars to GMC and the banks? The problem would have easily been resolved if he would have just given every American a million dollars. Perhaps then, the older than 55 bunch could retire and open up 4 million more jobs for the younger people. Buy a new car with the million....that would have helped GMC and their bad business. Why reward bad business? That makes no sense. And the Banks too. They are all greedy and only looking to keep their 6 and 7 figure incomes. And why did congress vote themselves a raise when they are cutting social security checks? This country is in a deep recession. So far all I hear is talk about how bad it is. What is the plan? One friend government is needed badly. Police, firemen, road maintenance, etc. He forgot to mention schools and school teachers. Yea, more government, give more jobs to the nonworking and put them in government jobs...that would help some who are really hurting and can't pay their mortgages, rent, electric bills, and groceries. Even the charities are hurting and can't help as much as they once did. Particularly those who depended on government grants to help the needy. I have lots of other reasons to dislike Obama, but right now I am more concerned about what the lying ungodly man is going to keep a promise on. I have a friend who is striving to keep his business of 37 years from drowning from the recession. His main bread and butter was selling to schools, and schools just have more cut budgets and have to do without non-necessities. Let me hear from you guys who are feeling the recession and what is your idea of getting this country back out of recession.
