'Change' in statistics
Updated: Thursday, October 9, 2008 7:31 AM PDT
This was brought to my attention and thought it to be very interesting whether you're a liberal or a conservative, or just for general information.
George Bush has been in office for seven-and-a-half years. In the first six years, the economy was fine. Now a little over a year ago, it changed; consumer confidence stood at a two-and-a-half-year high; regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon; the unemployment rate was 4.5 percent; the Dow Jones hit a record high — 14,000 plus; Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas — living large!
But Americans wanted "change!" So in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress, and yes, we got "change," all right. In the past year consumer confidence has plummeted; gasoline is now close to $4 a gallon; unemployment is up to around 5.5 percent (10 percent increase); Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 trillion and prices still dropping; one percent of American homes are in foreclosure; as I write this the Dow is probing another low: — $2.5 trillion has evaporated from stocks, bonds and Mutual Fund Investment portfolios!
Yes, in 2006 America voted for change, and we got it! Remember the president has no control over any of these issues, only Congress. And what has Congress done in the last two years? Absolutely nothing. Now the Democratic candidate for president claims he is going to really give us change, along with a Democratic Congress!
Just how much more "change" do you think you can stand?
