This is nothing...the of the Summer is when it really starts.

The only thing that is keeping our economy afloat (although I think a lot of people have already sunk) is government spending on the military occupations.

The government purposely did what it took to drive up the price of oil so the SUV-driving, suburban-dwelling, over-consuming American sheeple would support more drilling. Great, global warming is a myth anyway (according to the GOP and their corporation masters Exxon).

Thanks, George. You''ve shown us what is truly important and meaningful in our otherwise drab and uneventful lives. You''re really cool, Bush. By the way, if the economy is so slow and the people are so poor, how come you''re so rich? Where did you get all YOUR money, buddy? Huh? What''s that?

We could do something about the gas prices if the tree huggers could be eleminated and we could commence drilling and building more refinerys.

Dems won''t let it happen. Like the Fems who need to have little babies circumsized, the Dems like to have their lands prestine. Clean organs and green earth. They go hand in hand ya know.

Opening up ANWAR will only gain us 1-2% of the oil we need, so basically that''s a waste of time apart from lining the oil companies'' pockets a little morre. The oil shale regions of Montana hold much more oil, but it''s difficult to get at. Oil refineries assentially have to be built by the ocean or on large rivers - have you been to Louisiana lately? - precious little room there. Bazillions of people spend a lot of money to live by the coast and they''re about the NIMBY''est people I''ve ever met. So most of the coastline is out. Not much left huh?

Pelosi said the new Democrat congress was going to lower gas prices when they came to power. This was supposed to happen in 100 days, remember?

As far as the housing market goes, way too many idiots bought way too much house than they could afford in their wildest dreams. The greedy bankers are at fault too by giving these idiots the money to do so.

Then we have Al Gore and his phony balony global warming. Just follow the money here.....

You''re catching on. See, they can''t lower gas prices - nobody can. What we can do is shore up the dollar. The dollar needs to be made stronger and I wish the Feds would stop lowering the interest rates. Al Bore and his phoney balony global warming ********* and ethanol production nonsense is driving up food prices and throwing everyone into a panic. I wish he falls into a melting glacier and freezes to death as it freezes right back. He''s making 100s of millions by pushing his ********* and Pewlosi and the rest of them have no found a new way to control the american people. Wasn''t enough coming from the EPA.

Typical answer from the biggest coward on this board. Never served anything but his own self-interests and burgers, fries and hot apple pies. Leaders provide recommendations and solutions, cowards like you just provide idiotic statements.

Thanks Bushies!

[lovegetpeace]

Folks,
Let''''s join together with 38 other states and pass a new Amendment to the US Constitution to abolish Filibuster and Veto Powers so that our Majority Congress can help us.

Then, our great leader Bush can take all the credits for what our Congress did to save us from hell. A bad leader just blames others.

Something going on here! BBC have just reported a rise in the US economy of 0.6%, higher than expected.

Ex inflation fighter Bernacke becomes, inflation creator, the healthy of an ill banking system is paramount to inflation, but as we all knowthey don''t calculate food and gas into inflation calculations; (cooking the books) something learned from Enron. We need to take the medicine and get on with it Bernacke..... Banks and people over bought because of cheap money and your solution is more cheap money. Pure embecility, cure an ill with what causes the ill..

[houballfan]

Dang....what happened to that recession you keep predicting? Well, keep at it. If you talk about it long enough, people will believe the gloom and doom and you will be right.
