A hint for the ignorant and/or dishonest: When an economy is actually good, you don't need the propaganda machine in overdrive telling people how good it is in contrast to their actual real life experience. When an economy is good, people know it. You BS artists don't give the American people much credit, that's for sure.

Unemployment statistics? How about counting people whose benefits have expired and are no longer counted. Better yet, count actual # of jobs, (good and bad), that have been lost under this administration. They have the worst record since the great depression, while at the same time allowing an unlimited supply of cheap, illegal labor to enter the country. They are not alone in this, but previous administrations did not have the giant sucking sound of jobs leaving on top of this.

Tax cuts? That's like your credit card company doing you the favor, , of lowering your minimum monthly payment while simultaneously adding $100k on to everyone's total CC debt for some spending that the home office has to do for "your CC security"....

Actually, there was a study done a couple years ago when the tax cut was new, a huge majority of people earning less than $100k a year said that they would use their chump-change refund to pay down their CC bills. Wonderful. So all Bush the cogsucker really did was transfer several billion $$ from private debt to public debt. Such a genius, this guy.

Newsflash for conservatives: If it's "your money", (and it is), then it's also your debt. No, wait a minute, it's my children's debt. And it won't be $500B and growing. Not in your dreams. Compound interest will drive it to a price that will make junior's spending spree look like a bargain. Go about your daily lives, and enjoy your fortuitous timing to be born at a time when you will likely die around the time that the schit really hits the fan. It ain't a pretty picture.

Are all of the alarming trends in the modern world attributable to Bush/Cheney and their merry band of asshat-wearing crooks? Of course not, but what a lousy time to have a kooky election go sideways and install a bunch of "dead-enders" who only care about maxing out their credit cards before hitting the big dirt nap.
