* Talking About The Economy - But Average Americans Don't Believe Him....

The average American is working harder now than ever to make up for all their colleagues that have been laid off or lost their jobs. The average American is told that they are lucky to have a job. They are stressed and that weighs heavy when they come home and now have to deal with increased gasoline costs, food costs, utility costs, etc.

* just said that their wages have gone up over his last years in office - but in reality - the average American doesn't see any real bump in their earnings - they only see that more money is going out than ever.

Gas in nearing $3.00/gallon in most areas of the country. $45.00 for a fill-up to an average 15 gallon tank capacity of a car. Add to that that most groceries have gone up because of the high gas prices. Utilities have risen. In fact the cost of most items have gone up in price.

Now if on an average a person is paying $100.00 more per week to live the lifestyle they'd been living before * took office that is $5200.00 more a year that is going out of their house budget and I'm sure that is not even close to what might be coming in from raises they might have gotten from their employers since * took off.

So when * gets on TV and says things are great in the economy - the average American doesn't see it and surely doesn't believe him.

His ratings are just going to continue to go down. I heard they're at 36% this a.m.

is cooked! Thus, the Unemployment figures are totally Bullshit. I absolutely refuse to believe that unemployment is at a historical low, irregardless of what the Chimp in Chief tells me. Of course he could tell me it is day outside and I would have to look before i would believe him.

Everyone is scared. If they're not they are stupid (or merely oblivious).

...those taxes are going up.

Basically, the bastard has played a shell game on the nation. The rubes are finally catching on.

$5,200.00 a year after taxes. That adds about 10 ~ 15% to your guestimate.
