we're better off

One thing that Romney and Ryan keep saying over and over is that NO ONE can say they're better off now than they were 4 years ago.  That is so easily demonstrably false, it's almost like they are throwing the election and they've given up.  What a couple of dolts!

January 2009, when Obama took office, the US lost over 800,000 jobs.  In July 2012, the latest date for which records are available, the US added over 172,000 jobs.  That's just one simple stat.  800,000 jobs lost or 172,000 jobs gained?  Doesn't take a brain-dead Mormon to figure out which is "better off."

Besides, the wife and I are certainly better off, and practically everyone I know is better off than when the economy was crashing and threatening to fall into a Depression.  Duh!
