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're seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) the cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3 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!

Why doesn't the President "jawbone" the OPEC countries, as he suggested for President Clinton to do in the 2000 Campaign?
Well, to be fair, we don't know what Bush has been saying to the Sheiks of Arabia and the Castro Wannabee in Venezula, plus Cheney's trip. But we still don't know. So the question is fair enough. But since Bush isn’t doing what this unknown Leftie wants, I wonder why he doesn't call Harry “The War is Lost” Reid and cover some of the following points.
Why doesn't Hussein and Hillary come out demanding that these robbers on camels cut prices and/or increase prodcution? After all, Hussein told Canada that NAFTA wasn't going to change and to pay no attention to what he was saying in Ohio.
And why did the Demo Congress dither and blather about the "recovery plan checks" rather than just pass it?
And why hasn't the Demo Congress passed a law extending the current tax cuts?
Uncertainty over them is hurting the markets.
And why hasn't the Demo Congress "cut" the Federal Gas tax .40 cents/gallon, thus saving the tax payer $6.00 on every 15 gallon fill up?
Why hasn’t the Demo Congress demanded that Bush open the Strategic Reserve?
The facts are that the Demos believe that a poor economy helps them win elections, so they have no reason to try and help the economy.
Nice people, eh???
