Yes, without a doubt I'm better off. Like Stam, I think it has more to do with what I'M doing than what any politician THINKS they are doing for me. I refuse to give them full credit or full blame. If you think that Obama (or Bush, or illegal aliens, or welfare recipients, or Obamacare, or taxes) is the reason that you aren't doing OK, you need to face the fact that plenty of people are succeeding in the same environment.

My only real fear is going from having a peachy life to being in the shitcan from an unforeseen, unpreventable medical situation with either myself or my wife. And that is WITH insurance.
