    I totally agree on your first point.

    I'm not sure however people are less happy because things are easier. Indirectly yes, but among things is that society has imploded, the extended family had exploded, and now the family had exploded. People are more and more lonely people in front of their screens.

    I suppose new technologies like Twitter, Facebook made people more frustrated with their lives.

    No surprise that the nation is going bankrupt under the Bankrupter-in-Chief!

    That's a chicken or the egg scenario. Do we fill the void with technology or do we consume technology and create a void.

    On February 17th, 2009, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 into law. The $831 billion in spending kicked off the longest period of economic growth and job creation in American history.

    Teach their children how to enrich their lives, common decency, work ethic, the value of knowledge and critical thinking. For material goods, how to explore the economic benefits of working hard, dependability, and the value of goods when you earn them.

    You having to ask, means you likely weren't taught such plebian things like self sufficiency, therefore couldn't pass that knowledge on to future generations.

    The US was used up 50 years ago.

    We've been running on fumes since Vietnam.

    Like that video of Hillary being dragged into that van after her seizure. Gotta love that unprovoked outbreak of the truth, that Democrats not only lie, they forgot what the truth even means.

    So the video was somehow faked, and that mob of handlers did NOT try to block the camera from catching that pathetic coverup attempt? Sorry. Reality intrudes. It happened. If the party thinks they can drag her in instead of the Groper, this fall will be a delight watching that clip replay and replay in GOP commercials.

    What economic indicator can you point to that was worse when Obama left office compared to when he took office?

    Claiming she had a seizure is fake news; she had pneumonia.

    Is that truly the best you can do to cover up the blatantly obvious? Link me to the DNC statement to that effect, issued BEFORE that drag-job into the van.

    I suppose next you'll say Groper Joe is just ... biding ... his time in that basement? That he's not senile and really CAN string two cogent sentences together without a handler? Really, is THAT what you're trying to foist on us?

    And the make believe Christians on the right practice their perceived superiority and hatred of those that don't look like them.

    When being treated as an independent entity, the reference was used for 'helping' individuals... that would be the government.
