Life under Bush Presidency -- a good deal for me?

Under Bush's presidency, I have...

1. Seen a president appointed by the courts, not elected by the people
2. Seen the World Trade Towers get destroyed by terrorists
3. Been laid off a job of 8 years
4. Took a new job making less than half the salary I had made before
5. Had my new employer discontinue health care insurance which I began paying myself to the tune of $175 $250 a month
6. Been unable to make any contributions to my IRAs or to save any money at all
7. Withdrawn 10,000 dollars from my IRA account to pay off credit card debt that was over 72 days overdue
8. Struggled to pay basic bills
9. Seen the national debt skyrocket due to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq
10. Seen Osama get away and no WMD found in Iraq
11. Learned Bush lied to the people about the presence of WMD and the basic premise of the war
12. Seen more American deaths in Iraq following the declaration of peace than before
13. Seen gasoline prices skyrocket to a national average of $2 $3.50 a gallon
14. Seen Bush attempt to "defend marriage" by proposing a Constitutional amendment of discrimination

And those are just the top-of-mind items. Would you say the Bush presidency has been a good deal for me?

Four years later, after a second "W" term, I'm still unhappy with so many aspects of our current government that I don't really know where to even begin listing them all...
