Change ...Do you want still more in 2008?

Subject: In just one year

A little over one year ago:

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we%26#039;re seen:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;

2) the cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.25 a gallon;

3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);

4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);

5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;

6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it! Do you want still more in 2008??

That%26#039;s a great point but I know some are going to blame it all on Bush.|||I am so glad someone pointed this out.|||Can%26#039;t blame that on Democratic congress - they can prove that they have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.|||No, I%26#039;m voting for McCain because I don%26#039;t need to live well.

I want to let the aristocracy own everything the way they%26#039;ve done for eons,|||Bushes war is the cause for all the problems you have listed.

Since voting in Bush

1) Consumer confidence plummet;

2) the cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.25 a gallon;

3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);

4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);

6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.|||With Nancy and the democrats taking control of both the house and the senate, the left wing in this country was all so pleased and said things would change! And things did, as the economy has gone from okay to QUACK! Expect much of the same once they take office in November.|||It%26#039;s called a VETO.|||And, brought the entire world economy down with it!

A good analysis but let us hope for the best whoever gets elected but Obama presidency may change everything for the better!|||the real answer is right in front of us. We need to wake up

Left , Right, its all a big illusion. Ron Paul for Pres.|||The economy has tanked because of:

a) the bursting of the housing bubble engendered by Alan Greenspan %26amp; Fed%26#039;s irresponsible lowering of interest rates, making the cost of borrowing money artificially low and encouraging reckless lending behavior

b) Bush%26#039;s ongoing Iraq debacle, continuing to siphon off precious treasury reserves

c) Bush%26#039;s irresponsible tax cut while his Republican Congress continued to spend money like drunken sailors

The housing bubble peaked in 2005, before Americans voted in November 2006. Given that Greenspan (at the urging of the Bush administration, no doubt) recklessly lowered the real cost of borrowing to blow up this bubble in the first place well before the Dem Congress was elected, the fact that you try to blame it on the Dems is laughable.

But that%26#039;s always been the Repubs%26#039; stock in trade. Seize on a logical absurdity as the cause of the problem and smear the Dems with it.|||As there are only a couple more democrats than republicans in both the House and Senate, and given that Bush tends to veto everything that he gets unless it benefits some huge corporation, I%26#039;d have to say that while all of those things you mentioned may be true,but they%26#039;re not true for the reason stated. The %26#039;reason%26#039; is a matrix of of really bad political decisions by the Bush Junta over the course of the last seven plus years. Mostly however, it boils down to the BushWar for Oil in Iraq. Borrowing and printing money is a plan only for short term advantage. To make borrowing money and then printing money to pay for the borrowed money for a useless war has pretty much screwed the national economic pooch. Basically your anger is misplaced, but as long as the GOP%26#039;s Ministry of Propaganda is in full operation via the right wing talk show bozos and FOX %26#039;news%26#039; you%26#039;ll most likely chose to believe that a vary narrow and late into the game democratic majority has something to do with the current situation. Propaganda works..that%26#039;s why they do it....it sure worked on you!
