#2 In sector after sector, the quality of the goods and services has declined while costs have soared. This is the acme of neofeudalism: insiders and the New Nobility are skimming fortunes as prices skyrocket and the quality of the goods and services provided plummet.

#6 Obama saddled all of our government services with new requirements for diversity, training, etc. It produced several new industries of worthless people who contribute nothing, but cost a great deal.

It was part of the Cloward-Piven strategy to destroy the USA by spending us to death, and will be Obama's enduring legacy, assuming that there is a USA to endure.
