Yeah, surviving these last eight years was tough, with unemployment dropping by record numbers, record setting economic growth and what most credible economists would call a complete recovery from the Republican Bush Recession. Any evaluation of the Obama administration as anything but successful in every way is ignorance of facts or a biased lie. If you expect perfection, you're always disappointed, but if your politics are so narrow and single minded as to prevent seeing reality you are just lying to yourself. We've replaced an administration that proved itself to be one of integrity and competence with a group of criminals, cheaters, liars and self-serving bureaucrats that are hard to distinguish from the inmates of an asylum for the critically insane.
Watching the number of people rush to tax offices to get property taxes paid early, to get the deductions that have been capped or cut, seems similar to the bank runs that occurred prior to and during the depression. In spite of the administration's rhetoric, people who keep up with financial data are speaking with their feet, and saying loud and clear that this is exactly what it has been pegged, a tax cut for the wealthy, and a tax increase for the middle class, a Robin Hood plan in reverse.
