Really? Where's all the reinvestment in the country? Or, did Bush really create a false sense of economic security? What did people do with the money? They spent it, or, at least most did. Now we NEED lower taxes to pay for the rise in energy costs across the board. Did Bush fight for "nucyaler" power to ease some of the burden on utilities? Did he encourage companies to reinvest in American industry?
It's all a paper game. People in the mortgage business were giving away mortgages knowing they would be bought out. They made sure they got their fees and sold the notes as quick as they could. It's all paper. Even those people who think they "own" a home while paying high taxes and a mortgage were taken in regardless if it's sub prime.
Debt is the current industry of the U.S. Keep pushing numbers around in Excel till you come out ahead.
As for Energy Policy, YOUR idols the Democrats filibustered the Bush Energy plan. Instead of screaming pure idiocy about Energy take a look at the facts. Despite over a decade of rising energy prices, the US Economy is posting the best sustained economic numbers EVER.
Why? Because contrary to the zero sum fallacy notions of the Freeper Doom and Gloom choir, the Economy actually is a living growing thing that changes and adapts to changing conditions. It call CAPITALISM. Try actually learning something about it before posting anymore ignorant rot.
