I can't imagine how respondents said they were better off after a move to New York City. Too much congestion, Nanny Goat Mayor, High Crime, High Rent …bizarre people??? Are you serious?
Yes, I am better off. Just turned 65, in good health, 4 great kids, one grandchild and more on the way. No debt. Comfortable cash flow. Best of all, my wife, and best friend for 42 years, Kate, is here everyday! This is as good as it gets.
Yes, better off — just used cash sitting around earning next-to-nothing to buy a second home without a loan. Business is good, outlook is good, health is good, knock on wood. Out of Iraq, get us out of Afghanistan next. no more stupid wars.
Gas prices higher. Food prices higher.
An administration that wants to drive up energy prices across the board.
Employer sponsored insurance on the way out for many of us workers.
Thousands more owed in taxes to pay off my part of the porker called stimulus.
Stock market artificially inflated….will bottom out in next year.
What in the world is going on in Afghanistan?…and why was the poor Dr who was the hero in finding Osama Bin Laden thrown under the bus by this administration ????
Did he ever get his illegal war against Libya approved by congress?
We are throwing billions behind the wrong side in the middle east….well unless, you think women are property. ( Could it be the payback to "who" financed Obama's college? )
More government control than ever. etc etc etc
That's easy !
Obama is Carter's second term….and that says it all.
denise is off her meds again. ranting about secret muslim college scholarships? omg lol
I got Bin Laden! I got Bin Laden! Nanna-nanna-boo-boo! Everybody who hunted down and killed Osama Bin Laden raise your hand… NOT so fast, there, W!
Yes, life is better, I am better in a better time of better hope.
Wars are ending,
We are better for this .
We are moving forward, all together, helping the weaker ones to be better and better.
And that has made all the difference.
Much better off. I pay less taxes than Romney on a percentage basis but more on a nominal basis. I slightly favor him to be elected but it really doesn't matter too much. I would like to get my taxes under 10% and have the lower classes pay at least something. Headline inflation doesn't concern me much. I'm hoarding money right now because I don't like the risk landscape and think that we are in for another recession that will allow me to scoop up assets on the cheap. Praying for war with Iran and the effect it will have on commodities.
But I liked Muslim scholarships with Dubya was in power and the Saudi sheiks were basically running the White House.
BTW, my job at the Romney PR firm will end in November. Where else am I going to find a place that pays by the post?
The Pres. not so fast for Obozo either.
I believe it was the CIA and the Seals that got him. Plus who cares that Osama bin Laden was murdered.
Lost job two years ago and down to last $2,000 in savings. Can't find any decent employment. Hundreds and hundreds of tailored resumes and cover ltrs. Networked with associations, recruiters, you name it, and literally walked the pavement and found only 5 low-pay temp jobs over that time. Either overqualified or underqualified. Just sign me – Out of ideas and Desperate.
WSJ graph shows highest number of people were worst off when Bush handed over reins to Obama. Graph shows things are improving since then.
This shows how bad US condition was under GOP President – started 2 wars (one was not necessary), gave huge tax cuts to rich and made sure that next President will have to struggle.
I think the bulk of those who voted are just voting no because the positive looking graph spooked them and they can't stand the idea of Obama having a second term. I'm definitely better off – didn't panic when my portfolio was cut in half, and kept buying on the way up. Just a singer and voice teacher, not a 1%er; I'm fortunate to have a profession that has to be done in person and a job that provides benefits, as well as modest expectations about lifestyle and reasonable investing nerves. More people would be doing better in this country if the Republicans in Congress were more focused on getting people jobs than in trying to make Obama look bad by holding back help for the economy and rebuilding infrastructure. It's ridiculous that the Fed is the only part of the government free to act, because Republicans can't stop them. I think those stalling legislators should turn their pay and pensions over to the unemployed and underemployed and get out of the way of progress.
Worse off, if you are a senior on a fixed income or if you loaded up on student loans and can't find a job. In fact, if you are in one of these two categories you're probably on life support.
Buckshot is cleary taking the Mickey!
I grew up in the midwest, got the heck outta there as fast as humanly possible, while still garnering a 6 figure salary mind. NYC is home and I thank my personal god every single day. Bizare people in flyover country for sure. How those white supremests doing for ya, slick?
Hilarious! I love the sarcasm, Buckshot, keep it up!
Oh, and better off.
Dubya's reign of terror is finally over. Obama is doing a fine job with the mess he was handed. That's duya's like story though. Slide into a job daddy got for you. Rely on daddy's connections. Give yourself a raise. The roof catches fire, and exit stage left dubya.
Obama gets an A+ for damage control and improving our image around the world.
My family is waaaay better off than at the end of the Bush era. We have paid down a huge amount of debt – no more massive student loans or credit card debt. One tiny 401k loan left…and then we can set our sites on our mortgage, or saving for a new house – we have also added two new babies to our family during this time period. Our house is no longer underwater…and we are most likely going to move to our dream house (with no intention of moving again for 20+ years) in the spring/summer next year. I feel blessed – and I thank God for all of these blessings daily. To say I am not upset about the Obama years so far would be an understatement.
The march towards socialism is miserable… Under THIS President; more debt, deficit, more business taxes and red tape, lower world standing, GIANT and ever-growing government, more on welfare, more poor, more divisive, less freedom, less liiberty, more insanity coming from the government and media then ever before… this list just goes on. Anyone who can seriously say as a Country we are better off has their head completely up their …. anyone who is still seriously blaming Bush is a complete lost cause.
Of course, I'm a paid Romney PR person who is paid to make the same hateful and false posts over and over and over. Pretty soon, I'll be telling you that the whole Iraq and WMD thing was Obama's fault, black is white, and the sun comes up in the West.
And hopefully Mittens will not outsource my job to China too.
"The march towards socialism is miserable…"
If there was ever a sign that a person has lost their grasp on reality, this has got to be it.
Clearly, overall response "better off" during Obama years. I am not better off though. As an accountant, I find that it has becoming nearly impossible to clime the ranks. May be I was naive, but in mid-2000′s a partnerships in a big firm seemed possible. Self-employed for about 2 years, I see now that making an partner is similar to winning a lottery. I think corporate latter is becoming more and more impossible. Not doubt, big part of it is outsized greed of the executive office. But there are structural changes as well. Those are a lot more complex than any of the presidential candidates are willing or capable to address.
All the psuedo-"opinions" of all these paid trolls will definitely change post Nov.6, 2012. one way or another, that you can count on and probably not for the better.
t's getting better all the time
Getting so much better all the time
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
It's getting better all the time
Better, better, better
Getting so much better all the time
@RJ Yes, Bush bankrupted the country. Now conservatives want Obama to fix it. Well according to the chart, he has been fixing it. Most of your statements, RJ, are complete unsupported. Not that your kind needs any support or logic for that matter. Dislike for Obama is based on pure and simple racism. Just like my mother in law recently said: "Mormon Rmoney vs. black Obama is like predator vs alien." The issues of this economy are complex and Obama may not be even 50% right. But for people like you it is 99% racism, so it is hard to give you any credibility.
To be more specific: if you are better off in certain aspect, is it due to government programs or Obama's help?
Certainly if you are better off because you marry a rich guy or have a new baby, that have nothing to do with Obama's policy, right?
And if you worse off in certain aspect, is it due to the economy or specific policy?
So, if you are worse off because you, your spouse, your parents, your neighbor or friends got laid off, then it is certainly related to the economy and the direction of the country.
WSJ, you should be ashamed of yourself. Obama up in the swing states and now you want to blame him for Red policies between 2001 and 2008? Voters are smarter than that, Lol…I thrilled watching the red pacs try to smear Obama and nothing is sticking. Here's a hint, get a better candidate…
I'm better off, but no thanks to Obama or the Congress. My secret? No debt, a small (1350 sq. ft. 3 BR 2 bath) and very energy efficient condo and living below my means.
Can you imagine the interest payments I'm banking each month? Can you imagine the real estate taxes I'm not paying? My total utilities are less than the average monthly electric bill for most Americans. That includes heat, AC, cooking, hot water, cable TV and phone.
There is an old expression "Work smarter, not harder" and I did that. And yes, I did make my money the old fashioned way "I earned it" sometimes working 60 hours a week. My peak was 162 hours in two weeks!
I'll soon be at what SS calls "full retirement age" and I'll be paid by the government to stop working. But I won't and will shift to "phased retirement" because "if you stop you drop."
For the millennials who will see this as another boomer spending their SS payments, I suggest they take it up with the "greatest generation" who have benefited most from this system. I've been working and paying taxes for 49 years. So has the dear wife. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Yeah my house is worth less than four years ago, with interest rates at their lowest level I would have to discount it to sell it, college grad children who are lucky to have jobs, no real raise program at work, no real return in the stock market, no interest on savings, friends retiring because there is no other work once their position is eliminated. Who in is that really believes they are better off. Oh that's right the Obaloney bloggers.
"My secret? No debt, a small (1350 sq. ft. 3 BR 2 bath) and very energy efficient condo and living below my means."
But I bet you don't have a movie room, wine cellar, built-in dry spa, kitchen the size of a small gymnasium, garage for 3 or more SUVs, 4 baths, Olympic-sized kidney-shaped pool with a bar that you can swim up to, or any of the other things that 20-year olds expect in their first home. In other words, you ain't got a McMansion like the rest of us!
Since that mortgage payment is deductible, that is like printing money in case you haven't heard, or at least that's what the loan guy at the bank told me.
[Actually, I agree with you that the best life is a debt-free life, but that doesn't account for keeping up with the Jones and their leased BMW.]
It could only have been better had my children been killed or maimed in Iraq like those of so many families. Oh, how lucky I might be if we can just rush into a war and 10-year occupation of Iran like Mitt wants to do!
Anyone else see the total incongruity and bizarre nature of this? And, the written comments? This is stranger than Sartre's writing and completely disconnected to actual current happenings and conditions. Obama is ethereal and mystical but its hard to believe he could so derange a rather large number of people in a relatively short time.
@ Norman, you're right, I don't have all of the wonderful signs of debt including the McMansion, and I can't brag about my high real estate taxes.
Instead I have long term care insurance, two inexpensive but well maintained cars, and take 2-4 weeks of vacations each year. All paid with cash.
Or I could give it to the bank and real estate taxes.
And yes, I do miss out on that "tax deduction" of a mortgage. Boo Hoo!
There is a price to pay when keeping up with the Joneses. Perhaps when we rename them "the Lemmings" people will begin to get the idea that going off a financial cliff isn't fun.
The question is simple: Is one better or worse off today than on the same date in 2008?
With Bear Stearns in ruins, Lehman failing, and the entire world banking system teetering towards imminent failure, Bush begging Congress to enact TARP quickly, plus the U.S. mired in both Iraq and Afghanistan, personal accounts in freefall, jobs being eliminated by the millions — how could it have been worse short of a nuclear exchange?
Except for those who want folks to lie about their personal situations to create a false picture for political purposes.
@ Sharidan
No, it's not ethereal or bizarre. It's really about the highly dichotomous nature of the present economy. Those who decided "the debt economy" was a way to riches are now in rags. Those who decided that "it doesn't matter what schooling or college degree I pursue, I'll do well" are now dealing with the realities of a fictional economy.
The bubble that existing in real estate, or stocks permeated the entire economy. When it doesn't matter what one does, what they invest in or what type of career or education they pursue and they can still make money, THAT'S A BUBBLE.
It's post bubble time. Those who rode the bubble are struggling. Some who were swept along are also struggling. Sometimes, we can do everything properly and it doesn't turn out. This is, in general, not one of those times. This is one of those periods in history in which mistakes are cruelly punished. Consider it to the the period of the "anti bubble" and today, people can do things "right" and the results are not good.
Welcome to Obamanomics.
I don't like this topic either, but anything to get off the tax return issue!
Me, of course I'm better off — new elevator for car going in next month, and I'm having a dog trained to ride on the top of Air Force One (he likes it up there).
But don't misunderstand my comments: The bubble arose during the Bush Administration and in years when the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress, but nobody did anything about it. To the contrary, the real estate bubble and all the jobs created in the mortgage industry was the only economic "success" that Bush had during his term. When the bubble broke, all of a sudden there were millions of realtors and mortgage brokers out of work — but with an excess inventory of houses, were sure didn't need to put those people back to work, which is why we still have high unemployment.
Is that you, Rachel, stealing my identity?
Better off, working part-time, collecting nice pension after working for 35 yrs. Bought 2 small rental homes paid after refinance mortgage at a rate of 3%. Have savings, kids are working and are independent. Blessed with good health, hiking, biking, tennis and golf. Also feel safer about traveling as an american and people abroad smile and say they like the US better with Obama.
Dear Rachel;
The bubble arose when politicians declared that we no longer needed manufacturing and the "service economy" was the future.
Then the likes of you jumped on board. Too bad, we really do have a limited number of openings for people with advanced degrees in "Women's Studies" and there are real financial limits on how much one can earn working as a burger flipper.

I couldn't agree more. Too bad most Americans are chasing the Jonses with easy monthly payments that leave little for feeding themselves, fueling their vehicles or air conditioning their homes.
I'm better off, but only because of things I have acomplished on my own: finding love, getting married, paying off the house, working at someplace that is truely exceptional and working hard to stay there. None of the things which have made my life better over the past 4 or 5 years have had anything to do with the current or past presidential administration.
On the other hand, I'm much worse off based solely on things that are outside of my control: bank interest rates are way down, reasonable investments have worthless rates of return that do not reflect their actual risk, inflation is happening in spite of what the "experts" are telling us, friends and relatives remain unemployed or underemployed, taxes continue to creap up and up, especialy local taxes, such as property taxes, gas taxes, sales taxes and local business taxes.
How people feel isn't so cut and dry as "are you better off" or "are you worse off". I can categorize my life and have come to the conclusion that I'm better off on things that I'm in control of, but things I'm not or factors that are societal, I'm much worse off.
Definitely worse off. And so are my patients. All thanks to Obamacare.
Is not yet implemented. You are not being truthful, just political.
Here are the details
Explain why you and your patients are worse off now or will be later.
9:36 How and why will the ACA affect Osteopathic practices in Oklahoma that make patients and D.O.professionals worse off? Interested in the details.
But on the other hand, I'll be the first to admit that D.O.'s are not really doctors.
"I'm much worse off based solely on things that are outside of my control: bank interest rates are way down"
That is the thing — stupid people don't realize that they will NEVER make anything on bank interest rates, which will always slightly lag inflation. All bank interest does is "tread water" against inflation, and really doesn't even do that very well.
If bank interest rates were higher, that would mean that inflation is higher, and that is not good for the economy either. The ideal rate of inflation is zero.
Better without question. Recession ended. Out of Iraq. Bin Laden dead. Stock market up more than 50%. Better paying job. Healthier. Happier. Great job Mr. President.
10:04 Old folks understand inflation. We've lived through it, your parents managed to educate you, feed you and protect you. Now, do not ask them to give you their savings for you to invest them and lose what they worked so hard to protect. You do not older people, you do not understand life.
Worse off: Taxes and prices have gone up but actual income (the result of actual work; adjusted for inflation) has gone down. Obama promises more taxes to pay for people who don't work. Time to end socialism in America.
As a Nation: WORSE
- $5.5 trillion in new debts
- $2.7 trillion in new costs for ObamaCare on top
- Zero net job growth in the last three plus years
- Number of individuals not paying Federal taxes has risen sharply to nearly 50%.
- Nearly 1/3 of individuals profit from our Federal tax system by getting more back than they ever paid in.
- Energy production on govt lands cut back
- Extensive leaks of military secrets
- More troops killed in Afghanistan during Obama's first 18 months than all of Bush's eight years.
- Rule of law ignored by Obama repeatedly (Illegals, GM, Holder, etc).
- A president who lies his Ass off and panders for votes.
- Threats of taxation, attacks on job creators, increased regulations, etc. have created more uncertainty for all and held this nation back.
As a Citizen: WORSE
- Share of national debt owed increased by $60k plus.
- Average family's net worth DOWN by 40%
- Investor optimism down to +16 in July versus a +40 in Feb.
- Interest rates paid on simple savings far lower than four years ago.
- Workforce participation rate down two percent.
- 42 straight months of plus 8% unemployment
- Real unemployment in excess of 15%
- Food and energy costs significantly higher, Obama wants the later to rise even more.
- Govt intrusion far greater than before Obama.
- Taxes at all levels have gone up.
- College/education costs continue to skyrocket.
- Foodstamp receipients have increased by 50%
Hence, only a fool or someone taking/profiting from govt under Obama would vote to give him four more years as its clear he'll only make things DEFINITELY MORE WORSE
9:26 Old, recycled, trite tripe. Which taxes go up? Where's the inflation and the Socialism? Look on the bright side of life!
ha ha, you're worse off! nah nah naaahh nah naaaaah!
@10:16 – You're comprehension skills – like this nation's balance sheet under Obama, are severely deficient as that post made no mention of anyone's personal situation, just the status of the nation's and that of an average citizen.
Pretty simple to grasp, yet you missed it which is what is really funny here.
1014 and 1016, who are the same. You don't get it, do you? The health care bill is all about the implementation of single payer. Where is Socialism, you ask? Get your head out of your…clouds.
1006 is right, with an excellent fact filled post, and instead of proving him/her wrong, which you cannot refute his claims with facts, you ha ha and nah nah.
Typical hyponitized liberal in denial response.
Be a man, show us where he/she is wrong, throw some facts where your ha ha's are, and as usual, I won't be too hopeful of a straight answer.
Your silence proves you wrong way too often.
Obamacare alone added a wealth of new taxes including even a 10% tax on tanning that has already fallen well short of what Democrats expected it to collect.
Your comment also ignores local and state taxes increases on both individuals and businesses. Extending unemployment benefits to 99 weeks alone forced unemployment tax payments made by businesses significantly higher hurting job creation and investment.
And regarding inflation, even those on SNAP recognize how food costs and bus passes have risen but not you. They even recognize that taking monies from those who make more to give to those who don't is more or less socialism, yet not you to which that, along with your comment says much.
The economic mess began under Bush. The only reason the righty nutjobs aren't defending the incumbent tooth and nail is because Bush skipped down, luckily, leaving the mess to Obama. Let's look at the Bush disasters Obama HAS cleaned up:
We're out of Iraq
Our diplomatic prestige is restored after Bush/Cheney trampled it
Obama has killed enough terrorist leaders to give Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld permanent woodies
Bin Laden is dead; he's not forgotten and overlooked
We're focused on other geopolitical areas, like SE Asia, instead of solely the Middle East
Gadafi is gone, cheap.
Here's the proof baby – I'm much better off now than 2008. Booyah that! nah nah naaahh nah naaaaah!
We are so better off that comments like those of 10:06 and those of denise and the likes are nonsense and not worth a response.
It's not nonsense @12:09 pm, it's valid, factual information like that and the coming fiscal cliff that Obama and your ilk run from responding too because Obama loses on it.
Obama built it and its long past due he was fired for it. If Dems were smart they'd boot him out at an empty Bank of America stadium to select someone beyond an inept, rabble-rousing, community organizer.
BTW @11:37 am, just exactly how much intel do we gain by 100% reliance on drone kills versus capture and interogation, intelligence that ulimately allowed Seal Team 6 (not Obama) for taking out bin Laden? It's a short-sighted tactic driven by political gain as was Obama's rules of engagment that cost more American lives on the battlefield.
1233 you didn't utter a peep when a GOP prez sent troops into 2 wars without proper protection or equipment, forsaking one war for another he chose to fight. Drones have been used when capture and interrogation was too difficult. You're pure partisan hypocrite.
Oh, and thanks for reminding us that Seal 6 killed Bin Laden, not Obama – or Bush.
Yes the wars have caused increases in the deficit – maybe the republicans should have sold war bonds. Lets look at some of the other deficit causes – 1.) runaway banking ie credit default swaps. 2.) the democrats pushing/forcing mortgage companies to issue huge housing loans to non-qualified people. if these mortgage companies did not comply then they would not be considered by fanny may, freddie mac, fha. 3.)ridiculous low ARM 'teaser' rates. 4.) Wall street making up financial products to trade. 5.) Greed by the average american of buying houses at low ARM rates hoping to sell at a high profit during the housing value boom therefore creating an artificial housing shortage. 6.) lack of financial oversight by congress – read Dodd & Frank.

Checklist Of Stuff You'll Need To R&R
There are lots of little things that will need to be unbolted from your old engine and replaced on the new one. This will vary from car to car, depending on the accessories involved, but here's a good overview of the stuff you'll need to R&R on nearly any older, carbureted car.
We'll start at the front of the car and work our way to the rear, presuming you're removing the engine with the transmission attached.
• Pull the hood first; it makes everything easier to work on (if you have a Fox Mustang, the hood will just flop clear back out of the way).
• Battery and cables, including the engine-to-chassis ground strap
• Engine wiring harness, including wires to the alternator, starter, distributor, coil, and any gauge sensors; don't forget the neutral safety switch on applications such as Mopars where the wire goes to the transmission
• Radiator, including heater hoses and the auto-trans cooler lines on many stock cars
• Engine front-drive accessories, such as the fan, alternator, and power steering pump; it's usually easiest to get the engine out with all this stuff out of the way
• Spark plug wires and distributor (on most Chevy applications and small Mopars, it's best to pull the distributor so you do not smash it on the firewall during engine removal)
• Exhaust headers or manifolds. On cars with shorty headers or manifolds, it might also make it easier to remove or drop the entire exhaust system. While the starter can stay in place on most cars if you are leaving the trans attached, some header designs might require starter removal.
• Throttle linkage (and perhaps trans-kickdown or TV linkage, or a vacuum line) and fuel lines to the pump and carburetor
• Engine-mount bolts
• Transmission shift linkage
• Speedometer cable (just remove it from the trans)
• Transmission mount bolts (and, in most cases, you'll also want to unbolt the trans crossmember from the frame after supporting the trans with a jack)
• Driveshaft

If you are experiencing a medical emergency please dial 911 immediately
Cervical cerclage is a rarely used type of surgery that involves sewing shut the outlet of the uterus (cervix) to prevent it from opening before a pregnancy is carried to full term.
Cervical cerclage may be used for a woman who has given birth prematurely in a previous pregnancy and had minimal or no contractions before the birth. It may also be used when the muscles of the cervix are suspected to be weakened (incompetent cervix). The cerclage is removed if preterm labor starts or at 36 weeks of pregnancy.

|Growth or Equality: Two Competing Visions for Americas Future
Contrary to the incessant mantra of economists, politicians, and media pundits, economic growth is not the solution to what ails us. Our prime need is for a more intelligent distribution of the wealth we have—giving social and environmental returns priority over financial returns, argues David Korten.
14th September 2012 - Published by YES! Magazine
The current political debate in America hints at an unspoken, but profoundly important choice between two radically different visions of the path to prosperity for all.
Equality: The Evidence
British epidemiologist Richard Wilkinson has done an exhaustive review of the evidence on the relationship between the distribution of wealth and indicators of physical, mental, and social health across and within countries. His research demonstrates that on virtually every indicator, more equal societies enjoy more positive outcomes than less equal societies.
Figure 1, below, graphs the results for the world's high-income countries. By a substantial margin, the United States ranks first in inequality and has the worst outcomes on a range of indicators of physical, mental, and social health (see also Wilkinson's TED talk).
In relatively equal societies, modest differences in wealth and privilege based on differences in real competence and contribution are easy to accept as fair and justified. When, however, the differences become extreme and the winners distinguish themselves primarily by their willingness to engage in morally corrupt behavior for personal advantage, there is an inevitable deterioration of the trust, institutional legitimacy, and moral fabric essential to the healthy function of individuals, communities, and society. That creates a social deficit, from which it takes generations to recover.
[See original source for Figure 1: Equality and National Health]
More Sucking Up Than Trickle Down
Wall Street interests would have us believe that the best way to deal with the plight of the poor is to bring up the bottom by growing the economy from the top down—the classic claim of trickle-down economics. When wealth and power are concentrated at the top, however, the result is not trickle down. It is a sucking up. Those on the top suck up the wealth and gorge on a spending spree. Those on the bottom suck in their guts, tighten their belts, and fight for survival
From 1983 to 2008, total U.S. GDP grew from $6.1 trillion to $13.2 trillion in constant 2005 dollars. Figure 2, below, shows the distribution of the total wealth gain during this period. The wealthiest 5 percent of American households captured 81.7 percent of the gain. The bottom 60 percent of households not only failed to share in the overall increase, they suffered a 7.5 percent loss.
[See original source for figure 2: Who Captures the Wealth Gain from Growth?]
Current U.S. per capita GDP is $48,100 for every man, woman, and child in the United States. This places us somewhere around seventh in the world, depending on who is counting. We are bested only by countries with comparatively tiny populations (Qatar, Luxembourg, Singapore, Norway, Kuwait, Brunei)—four of them with a lot of oil.
If distributed equally, U.S. per capita GDP would translate into $192,400 for a family of four. Our economy is already far larger than necessary to provide for needs of all and provide a fair reward for those who make distinctive contributions.
Contrary to the incessant mantra of economists, politicians, and media pundits, economic growth is not the solution to what ails us. In fact, sheer economic growth drives the need to chew up ever more of our living Earth, creating an environmental deficit that compromises Earth's living systems to feed an economic system that fails to meet our most basic needs because of an egregious misallocation of resources. Our prime need is for a more intelligent distribution of the wealth we have—giving social and environmental returns priority over financial returns.
When Wall Street Interests Make the Rules
The sucking-up economy is no accident. More than 30 years ago, Wall Street interests mobilized in the name of deregulation and market "freedom" to rewrite the rules of finance in order to break the link between contribution and reward; and to favor the bankers, big corporations, private equity firms, and others in the business of playing financial games to make money from money. They suppressed wages and benefits for working people, reduced taxes paid by the rich, and stripped away constraints on speculation and other financial games by which those at the top increase their financial wealth without contributing to the real wealth of society.
Wall Streeters now pride themselves on generating eye-popping profits and bonuses through financial manipulation, deception, and extortion while producing nothing of real value. As the wealth gap grows, so too does the relative political power of the elites and thereby their ability to rig the rules in the favor of yet greater wealth concentration.
Economic structures institutionalized by policies that favor growth for the rich now virtually guarantee that the benefits of growth flow to the top. There will be no economic recovery for the rest of us so long as these institutions control our economy and our politics.
To understand how it works, we must recognize that in a corrupted financial system it is possible to make a great deal of money without contributing to the production of real wealth. Money itself is not wealth. It is a system of accounts by which modern societies record and balance our obligations to one another and allocate access to marketable goods and services. When the money system allocates money fairly in proportion to our individual contribution to the health and well-being of our community, it is a beneficial mechanism essential to the function of a complex modern society.
When access to the essentials of living—for example, food, water, shelter, education, and medical care—depends on our individual access to money, those who control the creation and allocation of money hold tremendous power. The more corrupt the money system, the greater the opportunity and incentive to abuse that power. The greater the abuse, the faster the wealth/power gap spirals out of control.
The greater the power of those at the top and the greater the desperation of those at the bottom, the more intense the competition to improve one's position on the wealth pyramid by any means—no matter what the cost to the society. The financial logic of profit maximization becomes the only logic. Concern for others and Earth's living systems is off the table.
The moral calculation is clear and simple: Be a winner or be a loser. Experience the unbounded power and privilege of the winners or bear the burden of desperate servitude to the winners' arbitrary whims.
A Positive Federal Deficit Reduction Plan
To put ourselves on the path to a more egalitarian society will take time and effort on many fronts. One immediate opportunity lies in the debate about reducing the federal deficit. It provides one example of how a high visibility debate can be reframed to raise public awareness that we are in trouble not for lack of growth, but because of a massive misallocation of economic resources.
A recent report of the Institute for Policy Studies identifies 24 sensible fiscal reforms that would eliminate the deficit, increase equality, deny the Wall Street gamers their ill-gotten gains, and move us toward a balanced relationship with Earth's biosphere. These include new taxes on Wall Street corporations, wealthy individuals, and pollution, and the elimination of subsidies for environmentally harmful activities. Together these recommendations would eliminate more than $572 billion a year from the deficit and simultaneously increase equality, reduce reckless financial speculation, and improve human and environmental health.
The report also identifies cuts in military spending that would save another $252 billion and make us more secure. All together, the 24 reforms could make a win-win contribution of $824 billion every year toward balancing our federal budget. In the process, we would take a first step toward the larger goal of creating a New Economy based on ecological balance, equitable distribution, and living democracy.
Citizen Leadership
For more than 30 years, Republicans have made their commitment to the Wall Street vision abundantly clear. They are quick to condemn anyone who hints at a need for redistribution toward greater equality as a socialist looking for a free ride—ignoring the fact that those who profit from unproductive financial games are the ultimate free riders.
Democrats are rather more inclined toward an equality agenda, but are restrained by dependence on Wall Street donors and an obsolete national ideology that says growth is the path to prosperity and the success of the "wealth creators" benefits us all.
It falls to civil society to expose the nature, cause, and consequences of the wealth gap and to define a policy agenda to achieve financial integrity, close the gap, and resolve the financial, social and environmental deficits that threaten our national and human future. The goal is not to give anyone a free ride. It is to secure and expand the middle class and to assure everyone an opportunity to contribute to our national prosperity and to share in the benefits.
We must assure that the winners in the next election are politicians receptive to this agenda. Regardless of who wins, however, our task remains to build irresistible public support behind a framing vision and agenda for a nation that lives up to its promise of providing a secure and prosperous life for all who are willing to work hard and play by the rules.
The Wall Street elites will push relentlessly for more growth for the 1 percent and will back their demands with enormous financial power. We must be prepared to counter with the even more powerful force of an aware and engaged citizenry committed to creating an America that works for all.

Ha, you said it!
I think it's important for all art forms to be celebrated and for us to acknowledge the hard work that goes into all kinds of art-making… but to laud Fifty Shades as a great work of literature is a total crock. It's trashy, hot, badly-written fiction, perfect for reading when you don't want to have to use your brain. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Hahaha. Not sure how I'm a "snob," considering that a) the book is truly horribly written and b) I'm hardly the first to point this out - thousands of people also disliked the book.
It's okay if you liked it. I'm not judging you if you liked it. I fully understand how tempting and delicious it can be to read something really salacious and low-brow (I mean, for goodness' sake, I've read Harlequin novels and The Notebook). I'm just saying that Fifty Shades is very obviously poorly written - which you don't have to agree with, but many do - and that I am not enjoying it.
i've been running my life this way for years, bouncing up and down financially and just making sure i always had enough money to do WHAT I WANTED, and do it RIGHT.
it may be what makes me different, fundamentally, from a lot of pop artists. i'm almost never looking at the monetary bottom line, i'm always looking at the creative bottom line. the happiness index of my life and creative self, not the amount of dough i'll have in the bank at the end of a project. (it can drive a manager crazy.)
to answer the question:
i'm loaded.
loaded with awesomeness.
I feel like people would ship me with Cadence, because of our "rarely touch each other" policy, and our history. haha
do you ever wonder if people could watch your life on tv who they'd ship you with
This is one of those things that makes the internet wonderful.
For those that missed the chance to get some free "toys" of their own the last time around - or even just for those who like free stuff - your chance has come again.
Pun intended.
I dug up some options for you:
The Xtreme Pack G-spot bullet is $28 and gets consistently good reviews for both internal and external use.
The Wahl is $37 and is actually meant to be a massager, so it's very strong and very quiet.
And of course, there's the Hitachi. It's $54 and is widely considered one of the strongest vibes you can get - it's used in porn all the time.
If you order from EdenFantasys, use the coupon code "V97" to get 15% off your order!
Honestly, for under $50, you can't really get anything high-quality that's not a bullet, IMO. There are lots of battery-powered hard plastic toys in that price range, and they're all pretty similar.
My favorite cheapo vibe is the Turbo Glider because it's waterproof, cute-looking, and has a lot more power than most vibes in that price area. But if you really want something good, you're going to have to save up at least $90 for something from Lelo, Jimmyjane, Jopen, or Leaf.
Oh, I've been there. People can be two-faced. The trick is to not take it personally. Hugs!
No problem. Yeah, ignore that asshole, he's a racist self-absorbed fucker and you can do much much better.
cont: i can learn from this? should i hold on to the memories? should I feel sorry for him? should I view him as a complete douche? i'm no longer depressed. i had my cathartic period and my friends were completely supportive. but I just find myself at a loss for words when people ask about the situation and what I think about this guy or when I try to feel closure about the situation. Sincerely, Confused. Thanks Kate!
Wow, that guy's an ass. He's immature, he doesn't know what he wants, he doesn't know how relationships work, and he doesn't know how to respectfully deal with people. You can justifiably choose to view him as a complete douche if that's what you want to do.
Look, the thing is, none of this is your fault. He's saying he wants to date someone of his own race, which is a) racist and b) nothing you can change. So there's really no reason to fret over it, or replay it in your mind, or try to figure out what you could have done differently. The answer is: this guy's not made for a relationship right now, and the only thing you could have done differently is get out earlier!
I know that you're going to meet someone awesome in the future who treats you like a human being, rather than some disposable accessory du jour. And when that happens, this will truly seem like an unimportant, trivial chapter of your life, which is exactly what it is. Don't sweat it, darlin'.
Dear god no.
This is pretty awesome.
We are proud to be men, and we are proud to wear dresses.
We believe we are men, no matter what we wear (or don't wear)
We stand with women, equal in all attire
Have fun! Wear a Dress! Have a Dress Party, or a Dress Outing, or just stand around and feel the wind between your legs!
Skirts also acceptable.
Facebook RSVP
reblog, spread the word, and partake!
Feel free to post the photo/poster around your town
Full disclosure, folks: if you buy a toy through one of these links, I get paid a 20% commission which I will then probably just spend on more sex toys. So we all win!
The Amethyst dildo is an amazing G-spotting dildo, perfect for finding your spot if you're not quite sure where it is. And it comes in glorious colors.
The Jimmyjane Iconic Rabbit is the most beautiful rabbit vibe I've ever seen (I'm talking about legit rabbit vibes, not just "dual stimulation" vibes in general). It's all white, made of body-safe elastomer, and is just overall awesome. I will have one in a couple of months, I think.
The Eroscillator is the only stimulator that does what a vibrator does, without the numbing effects that vibrators can have. It's expensive but supposedly life-changing (and I WILL HAVE ONE BY NEXT WEEK, WHATTTT).
The Turbo Glider is the best vibrator I know of for under $20. Made of hard, body-safe plastic, it packs a huge punch, and has a cool shape that works for external or internal stimulation.
The Lelo Ella is another G-spotting dildo. It's beautifully designed, as are all Lelo toys, and made of gorgeous silicone.
The Lelo Mona is my favorite vibe. No competition. It's strong, rechargeable, very pretty, and just generally awesome.
The Jimmyjane Iconic Bullet is a cool cheap option. Bullet vibes are pretty standard, but they get the job done. This one is waterproof and has three speeds.
Have you jerked off enough this month, so far?

Muñoz: Investigating Benazir Bhutto's Assassination
Heraldo Muñoz appeared at IPI on December 9th in a Beyond the Headlines event for his book Getting Away with Murder: Benazir Bhutto's Assassination and the Politics of Pakistan.
Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, was killed in a suicide bomb attack in December 2007 at a political rally in Rawalpindi two months after she ended a self-imposed nine-year exile from the country and just eleven days before an election that could have returned her to power.
Mr. Muñoz, Chile's former ambassador to the United Nations and the current Assistant Secretary General and Director of the Regional Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean at the UN Development Programme, was named to conduct a UN investigation by Ban Ki-moon in 2008. He submitted the report in April 2010 and then spent two years writing this book.
He said his mandate was not to assess guilt in Benazir Bhutto's murder, but in the investigation he found that there were many parties in Pakistan who could have wanted to eliminate her.
"She was hated by many: hated by al-Qaeda, hated by Pakistani Taliban because she was a woman first of all," Mr. Muñoz told the audience. "She was a western-educated woman. They called her a modernist. They accused of being a Shia. They accused her of being sold to the United States and the West, and of wanting the straight oversight and control—as it should be in a democracy—of the army and intelligence services by the civilian government. All of that made her a woman hated by many but loved also by enormous amounts of people."
Mr. Muñoz said he got little cooperation in Pakistan, noting that all of his team's actions were leaked to the media, and that even their cook had a detailed agenda of their activities. He said that local police had washed the crime scene less than two hours after the killing, destroying almost all of the significant evidence. Normally in a crime scene like this, he said, where a man fires several shots then blows himself up, killing 38 people, there would be thousands of pieces of evidence, whereas only 23 were recovered from the site of Bhutto's death.
"In the end, I felt we weren't as welcome at the beginning because we were doing a very independent, in-depth investigation that would not simply be a cosmetic type of report," Mr. Muñoz said.
He also said Ms. Bhutto knew the dangers of returning to Pakistan. On the day she returned from exile in October, a bombing of her welcome caravan left her unharmed yet killed 149 people and injured another 400. She wrote a letter to President Musharraf two days before her killing with the names of people who she believed were plotting against her, and on the morning of her assassination she told Afghan President Hamid Karzai that Pakistan's intelligence services were conspiring against her. She had even emailed CNN's Wolf Blitzer saying that if she were killed, she would "hold Musharraf responsible."
Mr. Muñoz did not entirely disagree with that assessment. "General Musharraf certainly bears political and moral responsibility in the assassination as he did not provide the security that she had so urgently requested and was entitled to receive as a former prime minister, especially considering that she had been the target of a failed assassination attempt in Karachi on the evening of her homecoming on October 18th," he said.
The event was moderated by Warren Hoge, IPI Senior Adviser for External Relations.

The scandal here is that the consulate was virtually unprotected, in spite of repeated requests for increased security. Speculation is that the Obama clique was attempting to preserve the allusion of normalcy in an environment where al Qaida was defeated and in disarray. Hillary has accepted responsibility but why no letter of resignation?
President Obama gave a vigorous defense during this week's presidential debate of his handling of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya -- but his answer could come back to haunt him. The natural instinct of most Americans is to rally round the president when they feel the country is under attack. But if they believe that the president has tried to mislead them, that support will dissipate quickly. Monday night's presidential debate could be that turning point.
In Tuesday's debate, President Obama said that the day after the Benghazi attack -- in which the U.S. ambassador...

I like RNB's comment. You can tell the child that Obama had his chance being the first Black president, and now we'll have the 1st Mormon being president and after that the 1st Hispanic president, and the 1st female president and the 1st Jewish president and the 1st Chinese American president and the 1st Indian American president and the1st Native American president, and in each case a group will be very happy even though it is the policy of the person that counts. Then we can have the 1st Black president whose ancestors were slaves; that getting to be president is very hard and the opposing party looks up all the dirt they can find about the person, so if they think they want to be president, that they should live cleanly.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue
Asshole's Finish First, why don't you?
you'd rather not be an asshole just to wed
or have somebody in your bed
Why it is that white girls don't seem to give a shit about the survival of their race?
Yes, I will accept it, I am a white WN and yet I am foreveralone. Yet in my area I've seen true examples of female Aryan beauty openly going out with blacks and Hispanics.
But, the bad part is not that they date men of other races, but rather that they reject men of their race. Other men can say you are an anarchist, a liberal, an atheist, an "equal rights" advocate or an outright black/Hispanic rights supporter, and yet white girls won't flinch, and some even consider something very attractive.
Yet if you say you are a WN or wear something that display your beliefs 99% of time she will cut short the conversation and get away from you, and in the worse cases she will become hostile and likely spread the word among her female friends, until you are the "racist fuck" all girls in campus seem to avoid like the plague.
I've tried hard to show that WN is something that is good for them, to be proud of their race and to open their eyes to the systematic destruction of their race. Yet every time I can see in their eyes from shock to outright disgust.
If a black or Hispanic woman heard the same from a man of their race he would be seen as a near hero. But if a white guy does he becomes an outcast. Why?
The (Male) Phallus, the ultimate symbol of MASCULINITY (keyword), Masculinity has and always will triumph over femininity, even in seemingly femmial cartoon shows, Maleity prevails. I.E MLP
The best evidence to support these claims, is the seemingly "random" occurence of Male Phalluses (keyword) found in a lot of the shows imagery, here's a great example,
sorry I couldn't take a screenshot there's a bunch of fucking shit under my prt screen key.
In the above image I illustrate the clearly visible Male Phalluses (Ultimate Power Symbol) in Pinkie pie's hair, this implie's pinkie pies implication as the male bearer, by this we can conclude pinky pie is an allegorical metaphor for the male (viewer) a proxy, if you will.
This brings me back to my original point, Do you See any (weak) Feminine symbolism in this image? DO you really think the creators of this show want little (scum) future matriachomongoloid girls watching this, besides trying to educate them of the power of the male masculine form.
MLP Is meant for intelligent (not a female trait, usually), Non promiscuous MALES or VIRGPUR males (pure virgin males), as i like to call them, Only (Pure) male eye's have the capability to see the true subtleties, references and humor in the show, little mongirloid (young women) don't have the capability to see any of this, as they don't have a Male Phallus Object, Or a MPO (female-to-male trans do not count, as they still have a subhumongoloid aura/energy, simply implanting a phallus does not fix them)
Further more, most WO-men do not have the emotional maturity to understand the character's, they have no emotional proxy since there are no manipulative, passive agressive, womanlysubhumans in MLP.
But you might ask, why is this presented in Femmie images? such as the color pink, and ponies? Good questions
It's simple, they're putting MPO's in seemingly girly shows so they will understand the true power of Maleical ingenuity, and learn to worship the male phallus, not berate, or shuckle it.
Only a man could make such a great show, and he did!
Thank You For Reading.

Daily reminder that the reason females claim such low sexual partners counts it's because they actively exclude some partners on the argument that "it doesn't counts".
So you can have females saying: "oh, i only had 3 partners ever". Because these times at parties doesn't counts, neither these times during her european travels, neither these drunken orgies at college, neither that spit roasting during freshman hazing, or all the sex she had during Spring Break, Mardi Gras, Memorial Day etc, nor the orgies at hotels room during conventions counts either, or the times she prostituted herself to sugar daddies to buy luxury goods, or when she was invited to the backstage of that famous rock musician, or the boat party of that famous rapper.
You can catch the point, the reason so many females claim they had only 2 or 3 sexual partners, is because 20 or 30 "doesn't counts".
My friend was talking to me about how he asked out ten girls this month and they all brutally rejected him. The other friends were saying things like "good job man" "keep it up" "you'll get one eventually".
I feel like the only one with my eyes open. Do you not SEE what women have done? They have you happy to be rejected, begging like a dog for one single date. Women can just hand out No's willy nilly and the guys in the wrong if he feels bad. What kind of a joke is that?
Who do you think are controlling the bitcoin markets? billionaires? Oil Tycoons? that's laughable
I've seen a common trend showing up within certain female (keyword) social groups (i've been undercover picking intel off of them)
they've finally figured out how to use bitcoin (typical, takes them forever to catch onto revolutionary technology) and now they're pissed men have a giant hold over the market, so like typical antiequality feminist BRATS they're manipulating the market so they can have a stranglehold over a man's market, the only way they know how, by deceit, manipulation and ddosing
Take a look at the only fucking man brave enough to speak against the fucking liberal feelgood-feminist hippie movement

THE bereaved family of a Llay man have released balloons into the sky to mark the anniversary of his death.
Popular amateur boxer and father-of-three Craig Maddocks was brutally murdered in the Cambrian Vaults pub, Wrexham, on June 26 last year.
Parents David and Edna Maddocks, of First Avenue, Llay, were joined at the village cemetery on Thursday by family members to mark the loss of Craig by releasing a series of balloons into the air and laying flowers at his grave.
Craig, who boxed for Llay Amateur Boxing Club, lived in the village all his life and leaves behind children Chloe, 13, Lois, eight, and Miles, four, along with sister Lisa, 34, and brother Daniel, 30.
On June 20, Craig's killer Francesco John Prevete, 46, was told he will have to serve at least 23 years behind bars for the frenzied attack which saw the victim stabbed 52 times with a flick knife.
Speaking on the eve on the anniversary, Mr Maddocks, 59, said:
"We thought it would be a nice tribute to Craig to release balloons, but it's always going to be tough one year on.
"Craig's children and the other children in the family are going to send a balloon into the sky. He's never out of our thoughts.
"He really was a great lad. One time he was going out on a Saturday night, all dressed up in his suit. He was walking to catch a bus into town and a lady down the road had a flat tyre. Everyone had just walked or driven past her, but not Craig. He stopped, asked her what was wrong, and in his full suit he changed the tyre. That woman sent us a bereavement card and that really touched us. He had time for everyone."
Mrs Maddocks, 57, explained she had been to the pub where Craig was killed to lay flowers.
"It was difficult going down there," she said. "But I wanted to lay some flowers there this week, as a mark of respect."

Though automakers continue to produce a plethora of higher-performance models across virtually their entire model lines, car buyers are nonetheless becoming increasingly willing to pay higher prices for models that deliver more mpg instead of mph.
Sixty-eight percent of 3,000 consumers recently surveyed by the Morpace research company in Farmington Hills, Mich., say they'd sacrifice some performance in their next vehicle to obtain better fuel economy. And apparently this quantum shift is more of a reaction to fluctuating gas prices than for purely altruistic reasons, as only 48 percent of those asked said they'd be willing to pay a higher price to obtain a model that's more environmentally friendly.
Overall, the survey determined that vehicle reliability (at 77 percent), fuel economy (at 69 percent) and operating costs (at 67 percent) are consumers' most important powertrain-related vehicle purchasing considerations. New technology and environmentally friendliness (at 29 percent) were among the lowest-rated factors at 31 and 29 percent, respectively.
