Pete's BLOG-Day 26,345. Are we better off?.

Today is Wednesday, September 26, 2012. My stats: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes of lifting weights and 48 minutes of walking = 2.6 miles for a September total of 49.6 miles. My weight was 164.0 pounds.

QUOTE from Lyndon B. Johnson: "Being a president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to do but stand there and take it."

My THOUGHTS  today. Romney has been asking if we are better off than four years ago? Well. there are many stats to prove we are - her are a few of them.
*Household income hasn't improved but household balance sheets are very quickly moving in the right direction. The soaring stock market has restored 401(k)s to their former levels.
*The value of homes are creeping back above the waterline in some areas and booming in others.
*We are approaching "historic lows" in delinquency rates on consumer credit-card debt and auto and appliance loans.
*The auto workers are back making cars with good pay checks. If you remember Romney said in 2009 "let them go bankrupt."
* We've had around 27 months of job growth. Obama took office facing the the greatest economic castrophe the U.S. has had since the Great Depression of the 1930s. It took a year for Obama to get things turned around before the employment rate switched from job loss to job growth.
*We are not seeing our soldiers getting maimed or killed in Iraq.
*Our gays can now serve honestly in our armed forces.
* President hasn't had shoes thrown at him, that's a change.

The 47% who are free-loaders have behaved reponsibly since the 2008 crash
