Recieve this in an email. Appears to be pretty accurate!
George Bush has been in office for nearly 8 years. The first six the
economy was fine.
About two years 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%.
4) The DOW JONES hit a record high -- 14,000+
5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises and vacations overseas,
living large!
But Americans wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic
congress & yep -- we got 'CHANGE' all right!
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now $4 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up over 5%
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 trillion dollars &
prices are still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) The Dow is probing another low ~11,300 (now 10,800)
7) $2.5 trillion dollars has evaporated from stocks, bonds and mutual fund
investment portfolios.
8) And what about the $800 billion Wall street bailout?
Yep, in 2006 America voted for change. And we got it! A Democratic
congress, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid.
Now the Democrats' candidate for president -- and the polls say he's gonna
be 'the man' -- claims he's gonna really give us change! Just how much more
'change' do you think you can stand?
