Hmm. Let's see. The economy was in free fall when Bush left office, but now most economists say the economy bottomed in Mar'09 and the stock markets are up 60-70% since then in anticipation of the recovery underway now. Thanks to the Dems in office.
Also, Obama has already pumped tens of billions into renewable energy projects and has instructed the EPA to regulate GHGs, which will push this country away from oil dependence. That must just infuriate you, because I know how you love buying oil from the Middle East. But for the rest of us patriots, we're very happy to see this country is about to move away from oil. In the next 2-3 years virtually every major car manufacturer will have an electric vehicle for sale. That must also infuriate you, because you love Americans spending hundreds of billions on oil from the Middle East.
Meanwhile, US health care is one of the few industries in this country where no competition exists, as evidenced by continual increases in costs, while benefits continue to go down, and our country is ranked near last among developed nations in all the major health statistics. Not only that but health related issues are the number 1 cause of bankruptcies in this country. And Dems are about to pass a reform bill that will shave tens of billions off the national costs to support health care, while moving us close to universal coverage.
And what is the GOP doing? Nothing but obstruction as usual. The GOP has become the party of "hate" and "no". Nothing left but a bunch of old, white, evangelicals, and neo-nazis. You must be very proud to be a member. So while the GOP loves to spend a trillion on wars and nation building in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Dems are doing nation building right here at home. It's about damn time. |
