A friend forwarded me this....interesting
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 yr high
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3 a gallon
3) Unemployment is up to 5%
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate
(stock and mutual fund losses)
5)Americans have seen thei home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
America voted for change in 2006 and we got it!
