Lets see - In June 2007, this is where we were:

 

 George Bush had been in office for 7 1/2 yearsThe first six years, 2000-2006,the economy was fine. 1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2-1/2 year high. 2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon and was always available.  3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.4) The DOW JONES INDEX hit a record high -- 14,000+5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises and vacations overseas........ living it up.But some American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006, they voted in a Democratic Congress & yep -- WE GOT CHANGE ALL RIGHT1) Consumer confidence plummeted.2) Gasoline climbed to almost $5 a gallon forcing the cost of all transportation and goods to increase. Check out the cost of food now.3) Unemployment is still climbing to new highs. 4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 trillion dollars & prices are still dropping.5) A huge number of American homes went into foreclosure and it hasn¢t stopped yet.6) "THE DOW" dropped to a new low ~10,300 -- $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM OUR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS! 7) Since the Democrats took over Congress, stock brokerage houses and banks have failed or been taken over by FOREIGN COUNTRIES. CONGRATULATIONS CONGRESS....WE ARE NOW OWNED BY CHINA. To bail us out, Congress BRIBED its members to vote "YES" on the second bailout bill.  The first one had gone down in flames. The American people have been forced to take on another 800 million dollar debt to pass along to our grandchildren. (Of which 100 million goes for such necessities as toy arrows, etc. ). Does anyone doubt that the 700 million will go to the same "fatcats" who ruined their corporations to start with?   You really don't believe it is going to get down to the people whose homes were forclosed, do you? HOW CRAZY - The CEO of Washington Mutual, Mr. Fishman, who held the position for one month before the corporation nearly went under before being taken over, is leaving his position with a 13 million dollars severance. Mercy, Mercy. YEP, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE! AND WE GOT IT!   A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS, with NANCY PELOSI, . HARRY REID AND BARNEY FRANK..Now the Democrats' candidate for president -- and the polls say he's gonna be 'the man' -- claims he's gonna really give us change! Just how much more 'change' do you think you can stand?
