In just eight years. Remember the election in 2000? We were all sitting pretty good in the US economy. Enjoying Summers, having money to play with the family and friends. Not worrying about how many miles or how much gas you’ll need to go. Not having to worry about what color code the terror alert is…

Thought you might like to read the following on how f*cked up our nation is in mid 2008. We’re getting ready to vote again, but as usual, neither candidate will deliver what we need. Keep this in mind:

A little over seven years ago:

• Consumer confidence stood at a 50 year year high;
• Regular gasoline sold for $1.69 a gallon;
• The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
• We had a balanced federal budget for the first time in 50 years

Since voting in a Republican Congress in 2000 we have seen:

• Consumer confidence plummet;
• The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
• Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
• American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
• Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
• 1% of American homes are in foreclosure. America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Remember the president is the captain of the ship. He signs laws into law everyday and this president and the republician congress was handed a balanced budget and a strong ecomony in 2000 and has damanged it beyond belief. Nice job leaders, what the f*ck were you thinking?
