Not insinuating any assinine behaviors, but in my opinion to say that the economy is fine and dandy is just not really true - all things considered. I personally feel that when 1/3 of our tax dollars go to paying down debt, the country as a whole suffers in many ways - economically included. Because we have to look at different ways to pay for things that we all agree need to be paid for. Sure, we differ, but agree on majority of things to certain degrees. Interest rates have long been depressed for political reasons under this administration - and we now see the effects of that depression. Those low rates have in large part fueled the economic state we are in, along with people paying for most things with credit - including our government. The only groups who really benefit to any degree over the past few years are the obvious ones - the really wealthy, oil/energy/defense concerns, credit companies. I'm sure there are others, but those are the main groups. You always ask the question "are you worse off than before?" when most people are generally better off than generations that preceeded those after. I'm much better off than when Reagan was president. And Bush I. I'm honestly better off now, mainly because I stuck with someone who benefitted from "entitlement programs" and made themselves a true success story. So, don't know what that tells anyone.
You focus on one comment made in the story and harp on it. While ignoring the numerous other points and analogies made. That's your option, of course, but it ignores the validity of most of it.
