FWIW, both my kids are looking for ways to contribute their time to the Clinton campaign. They both consider Trump a threat to democracy.

You have been a good influence on them ;)

Yes, the recovery has been slow. It would have been faster if the Republican-majority Congress had been willing to do the things governments normally do to get out of a recession, but instead they decided to cut government workers.

There are entirely too many government workers. There are many departments that do very little except to spend our tax dollars and they should be closed. You seem to think that big government can solve all of our problems. I think that big government is part of the problem. That is the one of the differences between progressives and libertarians.

I see a more diverse federal bench.

ROFL and LOL!!! If Hillary is allowed to nominate supreme court justices, the bench will be less diverse - it will be filled with left wingers.

And yeah, it could better if Congress hadn't obstructed fixing the initial flaws in the program.

I don't believe that it can ever be made better. It was a catastrophe from the start.

And fwiw, your view that things are worse seems to be a minority position. This came out yesterday: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-gallup-president-obama-20160831-story.html

We have already been through this. If I had the time right now, I could GOOGLE and find 20 articles that support my position. IMHO, the Chicago Tribune is not exactly
objective.
