Are you better off now than four years ago?

Has the assessed value of your home gone down?

Are you paying a great deal more for gasoline now?

Has food prices increased dramatically? (Mother Nature is partly to blame for some of the high cost.)

Do you believe small business is being unjustly treated by over regulation?

Do you think the Federal Government has unjustly and unconstitutionally interfered in individual States rights?

Do you believe the Obama Administration spends too much money frivolously?

Are you concerned about the future cost of medical care once ObamaCare is fully instituted?

Do you feel ObamaCare will diminish the quality of current medical care?

Do you feel that the millions of dollars allocated to green energy could have been spent more wisely?

Are you aware the national debt is approaching sixteen trillion dollars? (A trillion has 12 zeros.)

Do you know that each man, woman and child in the United States share of that debt is nearly $50,000.00?

Are you aware that the United States Credit Rating has been downgraded from AAA to AA+ and it is anticipated that it will again go down to AA due to slow growth of the nation's GDP?

Do you know that neither Congress nor the White House has prepared a national budget in the last three years?

When Obama was sworn in he said he would have a more open and transparent White House. Was that just more hype to make him look good?

You can’t blame Bush for all the above. His administration did have some serious problems, however he was working with a Democratic-controlled House and Senate which remained unchanged when Obama took office. That changed after the 2010 elections. Now he claims a lack of congressional cooperation for our national problems. Most of those problems have not gotten better, they are getting worse now.

I have discussed the above questions with many of my conservative friends and they all agree the answer is YES to all of them. If anyone reading this article can say NO to one or more questions, please feel free to elaborate below.
