How has the economy affected you?

[pelathais]

The economy has given me a Democratic President, though the woeful showing by Republicans is largely responsible for that as well. The economy has provided cover for the Dems to spend almost $800 billion in payoffs to their union and activist causes as well as earmarks for those "special projects" in the home districts of the powerful pols.

The $100's of millions for things like "contraceptives" really go into the general fund of groups like Planned Parenthood and NARAL who use the money for their political lobbying and campaign contributions. All that tax money goes for things the taxpayers would never vote to spend it on and millions, ultimately billions get channeled right back into the pockets of the Democrats who voted to spend the money in the first place.
