I believe we are moving in the right direction, but this is not a four or eight year problem - it's a ten or twenty year issue. With McCain or Romney in office we would pretty much be in the same place we are now.

Which is.
Fed Quietly Revises Total US Debt From 330% To 350% Of GDP, After "Discovering" Another $2.7 Trillion In Debt
Take out the debt or stop the borrowing and we're in the shitter.
Any growth in the inflated economy isn't going to you and me.

With Hillary I see more of the same. Our economy is getting better, unemployment is down, and we aren't getting into any new wars. Great.

Low wage jobs are on the rise as for new wars, the ones we're currently in are enough. Who is likely to get into new ones? As for the "economy".
I do hope the recent rise is based on real worth and not more dodgy imagined value. Because we know what happened last time.
The problem is we're being screwed and Hillary is holding a screwdriver. Trump is a loose cannon. But he's the only one promising changes. The West has to claw back manufacturing from the Third World, we can't rely on technical industries to replace the wealth. Also, the wealth from those industries has to trickle down. Or we will end up with an income gap worse than pre-WW1.
Wages are driven by demand for labor. Once the need for humans is replaced the demand disappears. That's happening now and the process is continuing. It's hitting our incomes now, the fewer sites to sell to. The lower content sales are. The fewer people with enough disposable cash, the less they spend on dating.
Add to that the people who will come and do what we do and the competition for customers rises. This is without the move towards major sites dominating the business.
A vote for Trump and more people not in the pocket of billionaires will send a shock wave through Westminster, Brussels, and Bejing.
