14. DU has changed my opinion of everything.

I am a believer in the current political trajectory.

I make a very good living, haven't had to actively look for a job since I was early 20's, my 401K and other investments have NEVER done as well as they have under Obama, and I have no reason to believe he will turn his back on Wall Street now, so happy happy joy joy for me.

The unemployment rate is %5.5 (who cares if that's bullshit in reality) the rest of the country needs to zip it about the reality of the TRUE unemployed. I'm alright, and as long as I vote Democrat....I've done my part. I love this thought process .....I know this is a fantasy number that means nothing ....BUT UNEMPLOYMENT IS 5.5 ........... you unemployed are just fine, look at the number again.

Shit I might even support Clinton over Sanders because lets be honest, Clinton will take care of wall street...and wall street takes care of me. Those that are suffering but not counted, .... stay on the sideline before you negatively affect the next election.

And here is the cherry, if the Democrats lose the white house, and republicans control everything,..... shit man - that will be the money shot for me, because as much as the suffering are ignored now, wait till a republican gets back in. I'll turn 52 at the end of the next presidency term, all I need is for the next president to screw everyone one more term, and I'll be looking at 55 and retired pretty comfortably.
