Bushies devalued the dollar by 50% and kept printing cheaper and cheaper dollars in order to float their imaginary fool's gold boom. Meanwhile, in real terms, we all got poorer and our nation is much poorer. Experts like Soros and Krugman are 100% right about this.

OPEC just started questioning whether oil should be pegged to the dollar anymore. Lots of countries are now talking about refusing dollar payments. Unless we get a fiscally responsible government in there fast we could be looking at a run on the dollar and not just a recession but a depression. All because Bush-Cheney-Delay and their pals lied to you idiots and you believed their BS, while they borrowed and spent like there was no tomorrow.

Also, remember when Bush talks about "growth" he is counting record-setting deficit spending as a positive. It's not, it's a huge negative, as is wasting gasoline, a precious commodity going forward which we need to stop burning so much of, for environmental reasons as well of course. Also draining our military readiness is a hugely risky negative.
