Political Season Is Here!

This article by Chuck Brooks is the best I've seen in a short down and dirty comparision.

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The first six the economy was fine. A little over a year and a half 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%.
4) The DOW JONES hit a record high -- 14,000+
5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises and vacations overseas, living large!

But American's wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress & yep -- we got 'CHANGE' all right!
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now over $3.75 a gallon & climbing;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4)Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 trillion dollars & prices are still dropping; 5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) THE DOW is probing another low ~11,300 -- $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS! YEP, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE! AND WE GOT IT!

(as I copy this post the dow is now at 10,104.20 and plummeting)

A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS, NANCY PELOSI. HARRY REID. Now the Democrats' candidate for president -- claims he's gonna really give us change! Just how much more 'change' do you think you can stand?
