Yep. It's every-bit as bad as we'd thought!!​

Good article!

I think that everyone should take a minute or so and read it.

Then I think that everyone who voted for Bush should apologize for having done so.

Then as a final jesture of true patriotism, everyone that voted for Bush should promise never to discuss politics or vote again.

It certainly would be the best thing for this country and the rest of the world.

President Bush, a failure in domestic and foriegn policy, the most incompetant President in the history of this nation.

Closing The Book On The Bush Legacy - Politics - The Atlantic

The number of children in poverty plummeted from 15.3 million when H.W. Bush left office in 1992 to 11.6 million when Clinton stepped down in 2000-a stunning decline of 24 per cent. (That was partly because welfare reform forced single mothers into the workforce at the precise moment they could take advantage of a growing economy. The percentage of female-headed households in poverty stunningly dropped from 39 per cent in 1992 to 28.5 per cent in 2000, still the lowest level for that group the Census has ever recorded. That number has now drifted back up to over 31 per cent.) The number of Americans without health insurance remained essentially stable during Clinton's tenure, declining from 38.6 million when the elder Bush stepped down in 1992 to 38.4 million in 2000.


Looking at the trends by shares of the population, rather than absolute numbers, reinforces the story: The overall poverty rate and the poverty rate among children both declined sharply under Clinton, and the share of Americans without health insurance fell more modestly.


So the summary page on the economic experience of average Americans under the past two presidents would look like this:
Under Clinton, the median income increased 14 per cent. Under Bush it declined 4.2 per cent.


Under Clinton the total number of Americans in poverty declined 16.9 per cent; under Bush it increased 26.1 per cent.



Under Clinton the number of children in poverty declined 24.2 per cent; under Bush it increased by 21.4 per cent.


Under Clinton, the number of Americans without health insurance, remained essentially even (down six-tenths of one per cent); under Bush it increased by 20.6 per cent.

That doesn't mean the blaming will stop, does it?!

"It's not a record many Republicans are likely to point to with pride."​

The last time I checked, and with all due respect. There is no school out there that someone can go to in order to learn on how to be a Vice President let alone to be President. So that quote is moot point.

The blaming won't stop until the "anointed one" actually does something. So far since Mr. Obama has taken office the nat'l debt has ballooned to over 13 trillion dollars with 30% (or more by now) subsidize by the Chinese. Anyone can look up the debt year by year at the CBO website, or go to Conservative Policy Research and Analysis | The Heritage Foundation for futher information.

"It's not a record many Republicans are likely to point to with pride."​

Considering Congress controls spending, I wouldn't put too much stock into this report. However, Bush did start a war in Iraq and there was a lot of deficit spending, so I don't plan on voting for any Republicans. What's probably worse is that Obama is making the same mistakes as Bush. He's like Bush-III.

Here's a more accurate chart:

It would be nice to have a more up-to-date chart, but that's the most recent available. I expected the stock market to increase after pumping nearly $800 billion into the economy. However, it really didn't do much. Furthermore, it created a house of cards and just put America in even more debt. Expect 2011 to be really bad unless something like the dot.com revolution happens.

WHY DO YOU GUYS ALWAYS SAY THAT?

Bush hid the three trillion dollar cost of both wars by paying for them as "emergency funding". He didn't include his 2.4 trillion dollar tax cut. He left off the 1.3 trillion drug bill. Bush had the most irresponsible budgets in history. I truly believe that by the time it was close to the end of his two terms, Democrats just accepted whatever he did. They just wanted him to "go away". After all, look how Bush had played the "Patriot" card and America was still involved in two wars. I believe Democrats were just unwilling to cross him.

Now we know how incompetent he was. What a liar he was and is. How he destroyed everything.

AND FINALLY, WE GET AN HONEST BUDGET with everything Bush left out, and Republicans howl. What the fuck is wrong with you guys. You keep saying you want "truth" and finally someone is giving it to you and you cry like fucking babies.

GROW UP!

Oh, I don't know. How about including the cost of both fucking wars? What is wrong with you people? Don't you know anything?

Do you really, honestly believe you could have two wars AND a 2.4 trillion dollar tax cut and have a deficit as small as what Bush said it was????

Seriously????

The economy started to tank the day Nancy picked up the gavel.

Since the Democrats Took Control of Congress

The trouble started once the Democrats, a Party so anti-American that they tried on 47 separate occasions to stop funding our men and women in combat, took control of Congress.

These are the facts and they are indisputable.

When Democrats took control of Congress:

1) Consumer confidence stood at @ 102.9

November 28, 2006 – The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index fell by 2.2 index points to 102.9 in November (Chart 1). This index has fluctuated between 100 and 110 for the last twelve months.
Economic Snapshots ® - November Consumer Confidence - Nov 28, 2006

2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;

November 19 2006: 3:31 PM EST

CAMARILLO, Calif. (CNN) -- Gasoline prices at U.S. pumps rose an average of a nickel a gallon over the last two weeks, ending three months of falling prices, according to a national survey released Sunday.
The Nov. 17 Lundberg Survey of about 5,000 gas stations across the country showed the average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gas was $2.23, a penny lower than the same week a year ago, publisher Trilby Lundberg told CNN.
Gasoline prices rise after 3 month slump, survey* - Nov. 19, 2006

3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data

4) Gold was $625 down from $700 in May 06 when it looked like Reps might hold control
Gold starting climbing as soon as the US election results were in, by the end of the month it was at 645.

5) Barrel of Crude $60

Crude oil, avg, spot price chart
In less than 2 years, the anti-drilling, anti-business Democrats had spooked the Capital Markets so badly oil spike at over $120 a barrel! The chart says it all! The only thing that dropped prices was the crippling damage Democrat policies inflicted on the us economy sending it into cardiac arrest

6) Value of Dollar (euro) 1.28 (Euro collapsing because of Greece, Spain and policies of their Democrats coming home to roost)

Monthly Average Graph (American Dollar, Euro) 2006

7) Deficit $248 Billion

8) US Debt $8.4T

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget...9/pdf/hist.pdf (Page 132)

Since then:

1) Consumer confidence plummet 54 which is an increase over the last 2 months! That’s down from 102!

Consumer Confidence Index - The Conference Board

2) The cost of regular gasoline soars to over 4.12 and is now $2.58 a gallon;

3) Unemployment is up to 9.7%

Again, look at the hockey stick spike in US unemployment since the Dems took over Congress

4) Spot Gold 9/17/2009 $1012. It was $625 when Dems took over Congress

5) Barrel of Crude $72 (9/17/09) Price of crude falls as US Economic activity continue to contract under Socialist policies of Obama & Dems.

6) Value of Dollar (euro) 1.47

Euro (b) vs United States Dollar Spot (EUR/USD) Quote

7) Deficit

The Number is so huge we need to use scientific notation. It’s 1.8 X10^12 !!

http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9...07-Outlook.pdf

8) US Debt

We need to use Scientific notation again because the debt ceiling was just raised to 1.2X10^13!!

“America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.” -- BH Obama

And don’t forget:
1,900,000 American homes are in foreclosure;
the USA Stands to lose it AAA Credit Rating;
and Communist China is lecturing the USA on Fiscal responsibility!

The Road to recovery starts when the Democrats are in a solid minority and Conservatives are turning the US economy back to citizens, business people and entrepreneurs of all stripes!

The Capital Markets have spoken: they do not want any part of a nation run by modern Democrats (aka: NeoMarxists, NeoNazis, Statists) and have been selling America short since Pelosi Dems lied their way into control of Congress in Nov 2006

Yeah they still do not think they were wrong, they were just were stopped too early and want to finish the job.

More Tax cuts and guns and less regulations will fix everything.
