Looking back I would rather have Saddam in power NOW than a bankrupt US nation, a near depression, and Pelosi and Obama in complete power with a mandate for socialism,leaving terms capitalism and conservatism a joke, gifts from GW (WMDs-Stimulus-bailout-debt doesn't matter) Bush and his so called messages from his Father.
RE : “You know, we had over four years of astounding growth and good economic times....”
That is what I call the Hannity fantasy world. He still repeats it and gets laughed at by guests. There was NO economic growth! None! It was phony asset bubble of paper values based on foreign debt and printed money. It lured many good people (and bad people) into buying/invested at inflated values they will never see again, And now the government is borrowing/printing trillions more to paper over those losses with a socialistic takeover of our private economy.
Lastly, recently we have seen Republicans stand together against democrats. To do that they had to repudiate the GWB policies of “Don't worry about debt, the future is NOW(my election 2004=now)!”
But so many want us to just overlook that little fact.
So, they 52 straight months of job growth put no money in people's pockets?
Good post...and darned right.
