Since I'm in my 40's I remember fairly well the last couple decades as a working functioning member of society. Enter Bush Senior, very uninspiring leader, but there to continue Ron's legacy.....end result a recession however.
Enter Bill Clinton,, hated him as I was a fairly raving Republican at the time, did not watch the news for around 2 years after he's election, but he did it, he made me money, the economy was excellent in the 90's and he even ended with unheard of surplus.
Enter Bush Junior...first class imbecile and a first class cluster f#*k almost from the start, he's only economic plan was , raise interest rates, lower interest rates, raise em, lower em, hey that recession is only in your minds, go spend!(remember that insane campaign?) etc.....years of near economic hell, taking the economy, the middle class and the greenback to the edge of abyss.
Enter Obama the to mild mannered for my taste Democrat, gets sh#t done however, we are far from the Bush disaster and I'm at least happy about this. As an independent now, I dont really have a party but if you have a stake in this country financially, bar Dons millionaire buddies then you do not want trump anywhere near any white house. I suppose one can teach this country a lesson in stupidity if you allow a pathological self deceiving narcissist to take the presidential reins and just go full imbecile on the world, But this however will take longer to clear Americas good name, then it's taking Germany to distance themselves from Hitler.
