May I remind you that 6 1/2 years ago we were losing 700,000 jobs per month, Unemployment was over 9%, the stock market was down 50%, Banks were failing left and right, housing values were in free fall, foreclosures were a record levels, Gasolene was $3.75 / gallon, wages for those lucky enough to have a job were going down, poverty rates were going up, economic confidence was at it's lowest point in decades, General Motors / Crysler / Delta Airlines / American Airlines and thousands of other companies were bankrupt, and my work had pretty much dried up!!  Today I have enough work to be selective, my modest and very conservative portfolio is up over 40%, I am now on Medicare so my health insurance cost have been cut 60% and we no longer have a moron in the White House.  He// yeah I am better off than 6 1/2 years ago and, whether or not you even realize it, so are you I suspect!

As to American values...as far as I am concerned the true values of America are holding strong in spite of the efforts to destroy them by the T party and Christian Jihadists.

I rest my case!
