Obama got in and then I was laid off. After about a year it was chasing temporary jobs for the next 8 years.. Lost almost all my investments in down turn of the obama economy. No insurance and stroke killed the rest of my money. Recovered from stroke and I am semi-retired now. Do not have much. But the country is better off and I do not live under socialism or communism. Yes I am better off.

Trump's campaign needs to hammer this point after the new year. I do believe I have seen an improvement . I'll vote for him again . Merry Christmas

401K, Up. IRA, Up. Stock accounts, Up.
But my back hurts worse now.
At least now I can buy the real Aleve rather than the WalMart brand.

My investments are theoretically better. But it's floating numbers on paper. They will go down, If Trump gets re-elected, before he leaves office probably.
Otherwise, no. I'm probably not better off. Work in our factory is down. Layoffs likely before February. Not me. It may affect my work load. I can work harder, big deal. It will seriously affect my compatriots, I don't like that.
Farmers are mostly not better off. They are hurting.
However, this trade issue with China needs fixed. It has been left to fester so long that it can't be fixed without some pain. Once it is fixed, the whole nation will be better off.
Trump 2020!

Oh heck no!!!! Not by a long shot. ...but it has nothing to do with our President. He's the best thing that has happened to our Country in generations. Things have just not been going well for me all year.

Yes. Any country worth having, is worth fighting for. Four more years President Trump.

Everyone here seems to be better off.
If you agree, send some money to the Trump campaign. It doesn't have to be a lot. Every little bit helps.
Consider the alternative. The country you save may be your own. We've gotta take back the House, get a couple more non-communist Supreme Court justices, and keep our country on the track of prosperity.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I’m retired for four years now from farming so not to much affected in my life. The country is way better off and hopefully continues. Farm prices were down before a trump got in. That’s why I retired. Can’t blame that on him and with the trade agreements going on it will get better. Ed k

We’ve been better off through every administration. I’m stubborn that way
But do I have renewed sense of hope for this country that has given us everything ?
You damn straight I do.
It’s about my kids and grands now
I can’t begin to describe my happiness the night Trump was elected. They all have a chance now.
He’s vulgar, boorish etc. but he’s doing a great job for our country despite often having to fight both parties
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

As a farmer, not so much. Most of my non-farmer friends seem to be doing well though.

I sure am. I might even get to retire some day if this keeps up another four years. Not that i am in a hurry to retire.

Everything for me and my family is better. 401 K and, gas price's alone make it worth voting for him again.
