*** Sorry these last couple of posts have been lengthy, but I believe in putting out the facts as I verify them!***
In an election where "hysteria" rather than "knowledge" may decide the
vote,
I would encourage everyone to make an educated decision when voting.
Don't
further jeopardize this country by making your decision based on
rhetoric.
Understand who has actually made the decisions that have landed not only
the United States but also the world economy in crisis! Those decisions
are voted on and made by the Congress not the president. And who
controls
the congress? Educate yourself America ! Don't just listen to the
press
- make a decision based on facts!
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year 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 $4.10 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value
evaporate
(stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
7) Food prices skyrocketing over 30% in 1 year.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember, it is Congress that makes the laws and spends our money -not
the
President. He has to work with what's handed to him.

Barack Obama promises to return to the higher tax rates if elected. It
is
amazing how many people who fall into the categories above think Bush
is
screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever.
If elected, Barack Obama has already promised that he will repeal the
Bush
tax cuts, and amazingly, a good portion of the people who fall into the
categories above can't wait for it to happen.
