Maybe you're just not paying attention? That was not what he said. No one said anything about the media or the administration promoting the notion that we are better off today. So who knows where you dreamed that up from? In response to me pointing out how Bush left a steaming pile of shit in his wake, gramps protested that his own personal experience differed. While that may be fine and dandy for him personally, it doesn't speak to what the nation went through. I pointed out the unemployment situation, the real estate situation, GDP, leading economic indicators which broadcast the health of the economy. Gramps' personal experience is not an indicator of the economy, so his anecdotal contributions are worthless to this discussion. When I pointed that out, he rejected that because his personal experiences are all that matters to him. Hence my analogy of how WWII never happened.That is not what he is saying. He is saying that just because the media and the administration is saying the recovery is good and happening, his personal experience is showing otherwise.Sure ya didn't. when I pointed out you don't get to rewrite history because your personal experience isn't what the country went through, you protested saying you can rewrite it since the only history which matters is your own personal experience.Except that is not what I said.No one said you can't live in an alternate realm of denial. Using you [il]logic, WWII never happened because I didn't personally experience it.The fuck I can't write history. The ONLY history that I've experienced is the only one that is important. Typical of the left to try to force me into a box that doesn't fit.Since you don't represent the nation, your anecdotal claims are meaningless. The fact of the matter remains; the Great Recession began before Obama became president. The stock market began its death spiral before Obama became president. The real estate markets collapsed before Obama became president. The credit markets locked up before Obama became president. Employment began shedding jobs by the millions before Obama became president. We had a trillion dollar deficit before Obama became president. GDP fell through the floor before Obama became president.
You don't get to re-write history; I don't care what your personal experiences were.
Dumbfucks
My experiences do not change based on SOMEONE ELSE'S experience.
I have been in business for 25+ years. Your struggles or lack thereof are irrelevant to the ups & downs my business has experienced.
The fact of the matter is the housing market still has not recovered to where it once was & the left want to do the same shit that caused the collapse to begin with, ease lending restrictions.
Like I said, WWII never happened (using your logic).
And I happen to agree with him.
