If you can not beat them. Joing them!

I think it comes natural, or hes in hardcore denial.

[bhallg2k]

so is home ownership.

Home ownership is still riding on the Clinton-era, booming economy low interest rates. That number will fall too as soon as people with adjustable interest rate mortgages (almost all mortgages) start to see their payments increase.

[pisshead]

also, as far as i'm aware...the ways the numbers are figured...people with 2 jobs count as 2 people.

so real unemployment is actually much higher.

and W's just a government front man...he's not making decisions...he's reading teleprompters and listening to his earpiece. the time to bring down this country economically and socially is getting closer and closer...W just happens to be the moron in charge at the moment.

the next president, democrat or republican, will continue this agenda of selling out US sovereignty and bringing us closer to world government, open borders, pan american union currency, more unconstitutional treaties, world unelected dictatorship...America is being used as the strong arm to bring this control to the rest of the world not already under IMF/world bank control, and then we will be brought down.

according to CFR and TC people and magazines like foreign affairs...which usually predict which way the country will go well in advance.

you guys are totaly crazy!!the recession started during clintons watch.my liberal professors even knew that?c'mon.

[bhallg2k]

No, your liberal professors probably said the economy started to slow down under Clinton, which it did.

If you're sane, like I think I am, and you come into power with a slowing, but still robust economy, like W did, you don't go unbalancing the budget by giving away 1.7 trillion dollars. That's a sure way to turn a slow-down into a full-on recession, which is what he did.

[sensiskunk]

Wasnt W left with the biggest surplus in history ($470 Billion)?

[bhallg2k]

Right you are, my friend.

Record surplus to record deficit. All in one administration. Thanks, W!

As an aside, if you're gonna give away a tax break with the justification of a $470B surplus ("It's the people's money," as he so often liked to say), why not just make the tax break $470B instead of $1.7 trillion? I don't have an economics degree and I still understand that makes no sense.

[sensiskunk]

Wow, so we went from the biggest surplus in history, to the largest deficit in history, Geeze, W is doing a wonderful job!

[amsterdam]

life is rough.

[sensiskunk]

life is rough, lmao! I agree with ya, but cmon now, thats a horrible job as a president, spending over a Trillion Dollars. Under Bill Clintons budget plan, the US debt would be abolished by 2002-03(?), it had already been decreased from 4 Trillion, to 2 Trillion (roughly). Now were right back where we started under under GW senior.
