Dems & Aliens: Bringing Down the U.S.

The liberal media spews it propaganda to get you to believe the blame for the problems in the U.S. stem from only one man: President George W. Bush. As usual, liberals are too simple-minded and cannot see the problem that is right in front of them. Liberals are their own worst enemy...and ours too! We also have that little problem of illegal aliens costing us BILLIONS of dollars per year!

Part 1:

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 national average of gasoline is $3.79 (some areas are over $4)
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
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it! Remember it's Congress that makes law, not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.

Part 2: Taxes

Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing. www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html

Taxes under Clinton 1999 / Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $8,400 / Single making 30K - tax $4,500

Married making 125K - tax $38,750 / Married making 125K - tax $31,250

Mrs. Bill Clinton and SNOBama will return to the higher tax rates.

PART 3: You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?
