economy hurt who the most?

[o2bnocn]

In your honest opinion, who do you think the economy hurt the most? Or do you think it hurt everyone equally?

Well it is hard to say off the top of my head. I can tell you it hasn't been kind to me or anyone I know... I guess I am middle class or lower middle class depending on how they classify it by city. I'm worse off... same money, higher prices.

I suppose "the rich" can be divided up. You have investors who may or may have not lost money. I'd have to research. Then you have "the rich" that aren't actually rich... they just have really high-paying jobs, not $10 million in investments.

So it's something I would personally have to look into. I know the lower class is worse off. Good job Obama.... Yes I dissed him.

Danmo, thanks for dissing Obummer.

No problem there. The guy just ignores Congress (not that they are great) and passes executive orders like he's a dictator and has the final authority. That is not the way it is to be done, and he knows it, and doesn't care.

Aside from the fact that it obviously hurts the people within the economy, you really start to see it affecting space exploration. When the focus on space exploration shifts from government to private industry, you can really see where the economy is expanding and where it is not thriving. Keep in mind space exploration is one of those "can do without industries" but it is 2016 and your shoes with Velcro straps are one of many great things that are a result of safe space exploration.

The economy has hurt the workers, the go getters, the doers of the country - the MIDDLE CLASS.

This economy will hurt the poor more than the rich, more food stamps will be granted.....

I'm kinda particular to my answer. I think it hurts those on Social Security the most, then those with low incomes. Higher prices means less food and/or trying to decide between buying food or their prescriptions, both of which are out of control. It also hurts them a lot if they had a pension, 401K, or IRA when the economy crashed.

Hubby and I lost half our IRA when the economy crashed. Both of us were in good health at the time. Where I used to go to the store weekly for groceries, I now go once a month. Where I used to spend $100 a week for groceries, I now spend that much monthly.

We are still doing okay but I don't know what will happen down the road. After all expenses, utilities and life insurance, plus health insurance costs of $600 a month, we're living on $900 a month.  We're both on 3 meds, but generics are cheaper.  I've had to start withdrawing from my IRA, which is now down to a little over $1000. He has to withdraw from his to pay the property taxes of $2500 this year, so it's not easy, but we're surviving so far. There is NO help for us. I've tried 4 times.

Mom used to say the golden years are not so golden. She was right! So, find a nice safe way to save money for your golden years. We thought we had a safe IRA. Ha!
