I don't understand why people keep saying this in response to people saying Trump has no experience. Saying Obama had no experience and did a bad job is a reason to NOT elect another person with no experience. So you are proving awkwardgirl's point that no experience is a bad thing and therefore supporting her argument against Trump.
If you have been an adult long enough that you were one when Dubya was president, can you honestly say you personally were better off financially when Obama took over?
If you were a soldier in harm's way when Dubya was president are you glad to be home? Would you be home if McCain had been elected?
If not, then you really don't have much upon to base your opinion, do you?
Honest answer: i come from an affluent family, military career was never an option for me but i respect those who choose that path (it is a voluntary paid career by the way, and those who enlist understand that death or injury may occur in combat). Compared to other wars like Workd war 1 or 2 when MILLIONS died, i would say the total US loss recently is remarkably minor historically speaking (how many ppl died in vietnam too?) though any loss is unfortunate of course.
I was in school most of the Dubya years, but my father did quite well financially during that time. Of course he has also done well during the Obama years too. Under dubya energy, precious metals, defense, etc did well. Under obana healthcare, tech, retail has done well. Dividend reinvestnent throughout. Economies ebb and flow, its to be expected. Probably right around the time Obama leaves (or shortly after) there will be another crisis soon. Thats just the biz cycle. The real shame is that structurally not much has improved under either Obama or dubya. Abd because the issues are even more significant now (approaching $20 trillion debt, thats greece level debt) Obama really shares a large amount of the blame for doing nothing (and he continues to do nothing right now)
All of which I basically agree with, but I think the average American is doing better now than in the later Dubya years. Many won't give him any credit, but fair's fair; if things were worse, he sure would be to blame, right?
As for soldiering, it was an unnecessary war based on lies and not ONE SINGLE American should have lost his life there.
However, activating the national guard without putting any policy in place to protect their families while they were away, was not what THEY signed up for, and was radically unfair, if not downright criminal.
I doubt that Trump will be able to reduce the debt significantly either, without hurting a whole lot of Americans. Unfortunately, I'm afraid it will be those who can't afford it more than those who can.
The government could just take a few million from every billionaire and things would improve significantly, don't you think?
IIN that liberals are terrified of Trump ?
