    I have worked as an office manager for a public school for 27 years. I received as many raises in the past 8 years as any other time. My spouse and myself have had a good life under Bush and no complains. We were able to work hard, pay for a piece of property and finally retire. We live on SocialSecurity and it's not a huge amount but adequate.

    I am a housewife/mother, but my husband has gotten six raises in the last five years.

    Why would you blame the Republicans for your misfortunes? If Democrats were in power, which they have been (congress) for the last two years, would you blame them too?

    When in doubt - blame Republicans. Even if they aren't responsible - the sneaks did something they got away with.
