Remember that recession 4 years ago? The coming depression will be 2-3 times worse. Taxes and inflation will go up next year. You can thank the Obama voters for this.

Will Obama ever own this economy? Is their any accountability on his part? Wait till his Obamacare that Amy and Al voted for kicks into high gear. Not to mention the taxes kicking in again after the 1st of the year. Any plan to keep his now 4 year old campaign promise to halve the deficet and debt? Certainly his supporters will say that is not his fault and chastise me, but hey, I didn't make the promise; he did. Accountability anyone?
