Time to move back to the gold standard if you want stability in the currency.

FACT! George W. Bush was handed a Government with a BALANCED BUDGET and a SURPLUS! This is HIS economy under HIS plan! Those are just facts every American should concider when concidering that McCain want''''''''s to continue the same. RECORD Debt, RECORD Borrowing and Balanced Budget? What''''''''s that?

This is classic fallout from the disastrous trickle down economy plan, just like the one that made such a mess in the 1980''s under that moron Reagan. The idea that the economy is driven from the top down is ludacris and trying to make it happen only benefits the already wealthy. REAL growth happens from the bottom up via purchasing as the financial situation improves for the poor and middle class.

"Maybe you were on some other planet during the 90''''s? LOL Look all of us remember Clinton forcing congress under the Republican''''s to shut down the Government rather than give them Tax Cuts we could NOT afford. We also, clearly remember the Bush Administration being handed an BALANCED BUDGET and a SURPLUS! Now they have mismanaged that about as badly as it can be done!! Those are just facts!!

What part of stimulus package don''t people understand? Besides, ups and downs economically comes with the territory.

Staying out of 3rd world status by a hair??? BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!Funny when Bush took office we had the tech bubble burst (which was a big part of Clinton''''s "growth"), a recession, 9/11 and the Chinese were given the key to the city by Clinton to take all of our manufacturing jobs.

Frankly it''''s amazing the economy survived the aftermath of Clinton.

Of course it''''s a grimmer forecast. Big oil is determined to suck Americans and others dry right now (record profits from people who claim not to be price gauging), and as long as that is their intent, and as long as we remain the automobile society we are, the economic forecast has to be worse than can be imagined.

Well Bush''s War can''t be helping things to much either. When you look at the cost of the national debt, the deficit and the war. Well that much money taken out of a system already streached to the max, it''s going to be rough for sometime to come... that is assuming we elect a democrat to the white house. Electing McCain is only replacing what we have now with more of the same.

This has been coming for a long time. The American Consumer has been living way to long on credit cards and loans. They are trying to maintain a Standard of Living that has LONG ago been shipped to other shores. Our standard of living is dead last amoung the G-7 but that''s the good news. The bad news is it''s holding on and staying out of third world status by a hair. It''s amazing to look at where we were when Bush took office and were we stand now... absolutely AMAZING!!
