<<Hold onto the principles and screw the left's criticisms>> Just exactly who do you think is getting 'screwed'? Have you forgotten that in 1993, Al Gore had to cast the tie breaking vote to implement Clinton's tax increase. Not one Republican voted for this measure. The ensuing time he was in office we had the largest sustained economic growth in our economy and biggest gain in the DJIA. The last full month that Clinton was in office the unemployment rate was 3.9%, when Bush left office this percentage rate had gone up 85%. Excluding the time Clinton was in office and only count the 20 years that Reagan,Bush I, and Bush II were in office the DJIA LOST a combined 15%. Twenty years my friend with your capital assets disappearing and when you add in inflation, you would have lost about 75% of buying power. Am I for bailing out our banks and insurance companies.....no! Give me an update on where the former Roman Empire stands, and tell me that it can't happen here. Read today's Wall Street Journal......an unbelivable number..about 75% of the people who worked in Bush's administration haven't been able to find a JOB! Gonzalez..going on two years and NO job! Can't you smell what is happening in our country...??
