I remember Dean and 7 Whiskies jumping up and down about how "things were gonna change." I should go pull up the posts to emabarrass you two fuckers. Because, boy, were you right!Bush had the Dow at its historic high of 14,000 and it's nose-dived ever since congress changed hands. They demokunts regained congress in January of 2007 and that year saw the Dow have its worst one year plunge in history. Way to go, guys!
You can't be fucking serious. You aren't that stupid. You own this abysmal economy and two wars, one of which is illegal. Congratulations. Yeah dude, the country went into the shitter because of the Dems....ok.Are you drinking tonight? I am.
The war started in 2003 and the Dow was at 14,000 when there was a changing of the guard in 2007. Things were going great. Since then it's been pure shit. Obama promised how many jobs in the first 6 months?It's been 14 months and there's no end in sight for the economic woes.
The Bush economy was crap...it was held together by deregulation and 'stimulus' tax reduction to temporarily improve confidence. He did NOTHING really to help the economy....That was one of my greatest critiques of him at the time. He would rather rebuild the middle east then invest in the people of the United States. The crash had nothing to do with the change of leadership in congress. It had to do with the housing crash and the bank crash that this caused, and the Dow followed. 8yrs of a Bush economy is what we are having to turn around....8yrs of policies that invested in foreign affairs rather then domestic growth. I find it ironic that the last two Republican administrations had this exact same proplem...the first Bush with the S&L crisis and recession...and W with his housing and bank crash and depression. Yeah, Republican leadership has such a glowing history.
And, if the Dow is some kinda concrete indicator, tell me where it was when Bush left office, and where it is now.
