Are We Better Off Today?

 

Better off in ohhhh so many ways.  Instead of disappearing, the auto industry and the many related industries are thriving; the war in Iraq has ended; we now have equal pay for equal work, at long last; people can serve in our military and openly love who they love at the same time; thousands more Americans have health care coverage and insurance companies can't stop paying benefits just because treatment gets more expensive than they like and pre-existing conditions are now covered.  Young people can stay on their parents' policies until age 26.  And as this front page from 2008 reminds us, the Obama administration kept us from going into a full-fledged Depression.  Private-sector jobs have been added every month since President Obama took office (huge numbers of jobs were being lost monthly prior to 2008.  The economy is turning around, all indications are showing.  As you've probably heard:  It takes longer to turn around a huge ship of state than to turn around a canoe.  We're getting this, and we're all in this together.  VOTE on November 6 or earlier if possible.  Please!
