I wasn't saying you were blindsided, I wouldn't know. Those who are now being trusted to do everything in their power to "fix" the economy, however, never saw it coming.
We did see it coming. We were telling you ever since 2004. We pointed to the trade deficit, wages, jobs going overseas, illegals, unemployment, cost of living, home values, etc.
You pointed to the stock market and corporate earnings and said things were fine.
Mitt Romney said Michigan was in a one state recession and McCain said the fundamentals of our economy were strong.
WRONG!
This alone should prove you are wrong. Remember we were telling you that illegal immigrants were a problem? Remember your argument in defense of illegals?
You said they were doing JOBS AMERICANS WOULDN"T DO!!!!!
So back when your party ran the government, we were complaining about illegals and YOUR response was for us to fuck off because those people were doing jobs we wouldn't do.
But the fact was, they were taking jobs Americans would do. But the illegal employers who tend to vote GOP were happy paying slave wages and zero healthcare benefits.
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but remember how I say Republicans always want to privatize profits and socialize the losses? This is another example. All those illegal aliens going to the emergency room for healthcare. You know those people? Well how nice of you to provide those illegal employers with free healtcare for all their employees.
Yet you don't want to give real Americans free healthcare?

Makes no sense.
