Some Good Question

I know that this article is about the House race in Ohio, but the Democratic candidate, Paul Hackett, asks some excellent questions.

“Ask yourselves these questions,” he urged the 300 in attendance at the debate: “Are you better off in the past five years? Is your job safer? Do you even have a job? Are you paying more for health care? How about gasoline? If you send me down there, I’ll fight for you. If you want a rubber stamp to represent you, then I’m not your candidate.”

How would you answer those questions? What would you say that Rep. Chocola (R-Himself) has done to make those questions easier to answer? For that matter what has the GOP done to make those questions easier to answer?
