Really? I keep hearing that but all I see are lack of jobs, lack of services, and lack of feeling like things are going well. I dont tend to vote one way or the other but Im having trouble figuring out why this is supposed to be better than the Last guys term. I keep hearing it but personally it doesnt feel that way. And everyone I talk to seem to be in the same boat. Even the ones that agree with whats being said seem to not have any of those benefits in their own lives. They say things like "well of course personally things arent going well but the country is doing much better"
Under the "Last guy" I was employed. Now I'm not. Nor are several of my friends who also, like me, were employed at high-paying jobs. I see lots of low-paying service sector job openings. The jobs I used to do? Gone to India. If and when I do manage to find a job, it'll be for less money than I used to make. How is the country better off, when the best jobs have and are disappearing, and at the same time we're getting deeper into debt as a nation, our image globally is horribly tarnished, and we're systematically destroying the nation's ecology and educational system, not to mention becoming ever less secure ... and free?
