A resounding NO.
Four years ago I had graduated high school, had a semester of college under my belt and was looking forward to a career in the U.S. Air Force.
My father was looking to retire in January 2009 and bought a boat.
His wife was working hard at school to become an EKG worker.
My sister was in High School working and living on her own.
Since that time, my Air Force dreams were shattered and I'm now a waiter. My father had to go back to work and sell his boat. His wife had three heart attacks, couldn't continue trying for the EKG job and owes more medical bills. My sister got pregnant and had to make ends meet and now is married with a second baby but still finds it difficult.
Overall, the last four years have been a nightmare with a far left wing President as the backdrop.
But what happened to stop all those things from happening? Was it the 2007-2009 Recession perhaps?
