This comes in three parts:
Part 1:
In just two years. Remember the election in 2006? Thought you might like
to read the following: 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 have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.00 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value eva****ate
(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!
Remember it's Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work
with what's handed to him.
Quote of the Day........'My friends, we live in the greatest nation in
the
history of the world.
I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.'
-- Barack Obama
Part 2:
Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics
enlightening and amazing.

Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates.
It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think
Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever.
If
Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax
cuts
and a good ****tion of the people that fall into the categories above
can't
wait for it to happen. This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman;
you
scam somebody out of some money, and they don't even know what happened.
PART 3:
You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read this:
Boy am I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it
is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find
that to be
RIDICULOUS. I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over
again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of
reading them.
