Your post makes me want to vote for Republicans across the board! I had no idea they didn't fuck us up as little as they did! I mean... it could have been much worse. Think of how bad it could have been if a Tuna sandwich that had sat in the sun all day was president.... things could have REALLY been bad then! :winkwink:

people act as if Bush is in charge of the economy :1orglaugh This shit dates back through the Greenspan era and beyond. Its all catching up with us now. Welcome to the panic of 2008

Their policies do affect it. And actually a lot of this shit leads to Phil Gramm.

Congrats on the lack of clues.

Exactly.

Its actually lucky the US isn't in a worse position. Those figures arent too bad considering where you guys should be.

Wait till tommorrow....

Ohhh I just noticed that the figures from the picture I posted date back to January 2008, so it does not include anything from the past 7 months :2 cents:

Agreed, but when it comes right down to it the fed is going to do what the fed wants no matter who is the president.
