"Are you better off than you were four years ago?"

This is the pathetic lament that the Republican party is now trying to con voters with. Forget the lies that they trot out and let's looks look at just one single answer. 

"Are you better off than you were four years ago?" 
 YES, GWB is gone and the extremist right does not control the executive and legislative branches of the government. (Unfortunately, the Bush legacy of the politicization and rabid right control of the Supreme Court will last indefinitely).

Now the real questions:

Will you be better off four years from now if extremists like Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney were allowed to gain the power they are seeking? 

Will you be better off with a third attempt at the failed policy of "trickle down economics"?  

Will you be better off if the government takes control of your health care? The reality is that it is the Republican who want to tell you what medical care you may or may not get. They claim the Patient Protection and Affordable Care act is government intrusion, what the hell would they call banning all?

Will you be better off if Medicare is terminated and Social Security "privatized"?

Will you be better off if same sex marriage is banned. 

I can think of no way in which we would be better off four years from now if President Obama is not reelected.
