@jeffcliff @d3n @sun Ok, I'm just going to tell you as someone who actually lives here, and not some weird poll collector.
Housing is only affordable if you take out a retarded loan. It's not easy to sell a property in recent years. Inflation has not "dropped to nominal." I'm making significantly more money than I did 3 years ago and I still have to live on a diet of beans, ramen, sandwiches, and soup in order to enjoy vacations.
I am doing significantly better financially than most people my age, except ones with good degrees.
The economy is not good, no matter what abstract numbers you want to throw out about a country you don't even live in. A big reason people are turning back to Conservatism is because Lefties insist the economy is great when our day to day lives are proof that it isn't.
