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 $3.50 a gallon;

3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);

4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (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.

The Tax Foundation - U.S. Federal Individual Income Tax Rates History, 1913-2008

Taxes under Clinton 1999 Taxes under Bush 2008

Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 30K - tax $4,500

Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 50K - tax $12,500

Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Single making 75K - tax $18,750

Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000

Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750

Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250

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 portion 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.

#3 I saw before and can't remember if I posted also.

Freakin' great points. Here in NJ taxes are getting to be a mess. The governor wants to take away services - like the Dept of Agriculture (why is it the 'Garden State'?) and raise highway tolls and....tax, tax, tax!

Its a sick joke that democrats keep playing on us over and over and over....
 
Interesting Thor, and not a good situation...

One thing I would say though regards the drug comment in part 3 - if there wasn't the demand for them, there wouldn't be any importation. You can't pin that one on the foreigners alone.

Good data Thor. The problem I have with your analysis is that BOTH the mis-managed war and the illegals are a drain on the USA.

The was has cost probably 10x the $$$$ and # of lives lost due to poor {or absent} planning for the occupation and the "nation building" experiment in Iraq.

The illegal alien situation in the USA is OUT OF CONTROL especially in YOUR STATE. {crying shame} :cry:

Many democrats are in favour of "amnesty" but so were both McCain AND BUSH! :evil:

There are laws on the books now that allow deportation of illegals.

This is done by the border patrol/INS which are controlled BY THE PRESIDENT {executive branch}. The congress has also passed authorization to build 600+ miles of fence AND IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN BUILT. :confused:

The president with the authorization HE ALREADY HAS should have

BUILT THE FENCE

DEPORT THE ILLEGAL MIGRANTS :mad:


Please eveyone do not misunderstand this, I don't think Obama or Hill/Bill will do any good, but the current President HAS NOT DONE THE JOB EITHER!
 
Both Freebird and A4K have good points as well. I have a buddy of mine that is a die hard republican. He scraped the W window sticker off his truck because he is so mad at Bush.

Had a co-worker tell me, "Well, there isn't an easy answer."

I said, "Like hell. Obey the law, enforce the law. It may not be the 100% best answer, but that's the answer we have now, it's in the books, enforce the damn thing."
