CLinton created 22 million new jobs in the USA and his economy was good for all Americans of all income ranges. Bush's economy is a huge money-grab by the very rich and big corporate interests. Bushies actually approve of sending US jobs overseas and offer huge tax breaks for it. They have also given big corporations everything they could ever ask for including not much of any paying taxes, thereby not contributing to the massive responsibilities and burdens we have here in this country.

Today's estimate that the US's hughways and bridges (paid for by gasoline taxes) are in need of several TRILLION dollars in repairs just to bring them up to "good" level. Meanwhile the Bushies want to do away with the gas taxes and give all the $4 a gallon to the oil companies, again not requiring them to contribute anything to our society. Then there is the other trillion in deficit financing being totally wasted in Iraq. That is not paid for either.

Bushies are also creating the biggest government ever, though they privatize what shouldn't be privatized, like our military, prisons, Medicare, etc. Non-government jobs are down under Bush this latest quarter despite a large growth in population, and the average US family now has no savings at all. The last time that happened was right before the great depression. But yes, Bush has really handed the top 1% many huge gifts. That's really what the GOP has always been about. While screwing the middleclass. If you make under 500 K a year under Bush, you lose.
