Well not my 401, nor almost everyone else's 401. I lost track of all the gains, but I would guess that it's up about 70% since January 2016.
We vets are likewise doing better. I can't believe how the VA was more concerned with protecting civil service jobs of its staff than they were for our veterans.
While the Obama economy may have been great for China, it wasn't very good for American workers.
I could think of a couple dozen more non-train wrecks, but I'm off to check my retirement account.

@Graylight The Soros puppet, Obama is the scum bucket POS liar...Obama and his whole cartel and all the poor excuses for humanity that align themselves with the left. Trump is a good president and evil worthless blood bags can't stand that he is doing a good job, and getting things done.
This sums it up nicely. This is "what is bothering me".......

The depressing reality that the biggest threat my country has ever faced is half of it's population. I see it as being at least as bad or worse than the pre-civil war dynamic. The demographic of evil is not concentrated in one particular section , but in the larger cities and on the east and west coasts. I feel like Donald Sutherland's character in the 78 version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" It's a grim prospect to basically see every 'other' fellow citizen as the potential object of the deepest darkest loathing I have ever experienced in my life. I was paying attention and I served during the peak of the "cold war" and I never saw the "Red Horde" as being a threat that was anything close to the social cancer that I see and hear around me every day. It's real to me, and it sucks.
I knew that my 'Norman Rockwell' world was passing away, but I didn't realize until recently that it was being wholesale slaughtered and razed to the ground by what I figuratively see as the minions of Satan and the promoters of all that I hate and despise with every fiber of my being.

@puck61 it is unfortunate that you believe that everyone who isn’t a dyed in the wool Republican thinks homogeneously (and also by inference that all Republicans think homogeneously). I assure you, this isn’t the case.
I know many vets who are dyed in the wool Democrats.
What you describe above is a myopic view of the world that there are only two ways of thinking. I assure you, there is not.
In my estimation, Obama was the 2nd worst President we have ever had, topped only by Mr Trump. I also believe the DC Republicans are obstructionists and the Democrats are whiners.
One think for sure, as much as I hated Ted Kennedy’s politics, I miss his ability to bring both sides together, leveraging his long time friendship with Orrin Hatch to create compromise legislation that kept things moving.
Mitch McConnell cannot do this, neither can Nancy Pelosi.
It’s ironic that Red states complain about social policies when Red states actually get more Federal money than they contribute. If it were not for mild wealth distribution, Red states would implode under their own weight.
No system is perfect. You, my friend, are no better than the left wing radicals who claim that Republicans are the scourge of the earth.
Have you considered having an open conversation with someone that has a different perspective than your own?
