Had enough “change” yet?
June 6, 2008 · Print This Article
When the Democrats took over control of Congress in the election of 2006, consumer confidence stood at a 21/2-year high, regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon and the unemployment rate was 4.5 percent.
Since the Democrats took over, consumer confidence is down, gasoline has soared to $4.00 a gallon and the unemployment rate, as we learned this morning, has climbed to 5.5 percent.
Mutual and stock fund losses now total in the trillions, and an increasing number of home mortgages are in foreclosure.
Meanwhile, Democrats continue to block homegrown efforts to drill for domestic oil, build new refineries, produce more clean-burning natural gas, increase our use of atomic energy and fully exploit our coal resources, including making motor fuel from coal. The United States will never become energy independent until we are allowed to develop the many sources of energy which are our own.
The voters opted for change in 2006, and the Democrats certainly gave it to them. Now Barack Obama and his band of merry pranksters that is the Democrat Party want voters to approve even more “change” in 2008. I don’t think our economy can stand it - do you?

Yes unemployment is up but you are not a statistic and there are still thousands of 75K, 100K and 150K jobs out there. try these sites:

I believe that if you truly want and try to find a good job, you just will.
Susan,
The truth is that there have always been jobs for those that truly want to work. That hasn’t changed since the depression, but the facts that JP put forth can’t be ignored. All the things that Democrats in congress promised to fix have gotten worse.
Proving yet again that Democrats can’t be trusted with security, economic, energy, or otherwise….
