"I had to suffer through eight years of Clinton [View All]

[movie_girl99]

now you can suffer through 8 years of Bush." This came spewing out of the mouth of one of my repug work mates today as we bitched about gas prices. After i cleared the piece of sandwich that lodged in my throat i said "yeah cuz we all suffered so much then." "We had better, cheaper health care, the middle class was actually prospering not disappearing, we weren't in debt as a nation and we were still looked upon as a civilized nation to most, social security wasn't effed up, we weren't being screwed by the IRS ie tax breaks for the rich and education was a priority." "you of all people should be kissing Clinton's ass because of the Child Tax Credit...you have 5 kids under 17." "we really suffered under Clinton didn't we?" At that point i picked up my lunch and relocated to my office as he just sat there. These guys don't get it. They are warehouse workers who make $10.00 an hour yet all but a couple of them voted for the chimp.The one guy who made the comment has worked here for 15 years and makes quite a bit more than the other guys and owns 2 rent houses and has 5 kids. These people had to be doing better under the CLinton Admin. so why don't they realize it?
