I've a question: what did Bush do for you in the last 4 years, and more over what do you think he'll do for you in the next 4? I've lived here for over a year now and coincidentally enough I lived here for a while at the end of the Clinton era, and I have to say this country has gone downhill quite a bit. Young couples can scarcely afford a house of theyre own, affordable medical care hardly exists, unemployment is at an almost all time high. And people here just seem to be caught up in gay marriage!!. Trust me if you couldnt afford the computer you're sitting infront of now or the chair you were sitting on I doubt very much if you would even give a s**t if gays could marry or not!!!.
Any way original question: what has he done for you?
as stated, unemplyment is at about 5.4%, 5% considered no unemplyment in modern economies pretty much. As far as job loss, there was a dip, but now it is almost identical to jobs in 2000 right as the recession started, we have just gained people, but haven't lost jobs overall. Recession started in 1999, the Clinton years. I have some charts and stuff I can post later. I left the paper copies I can quote in my locker at school, but my father will send me the files. If you want to see them, let me know. O, retail house ownership is at all time high, its not that unaffordable when interest rates are at an all time low, (1.75% i believe).
As far as medical, we need to reform the system, and its the fault of insurence companies and idiots, not the president's.
Sorry if I seem sporadic, but I don't have quite the patience to post as precisely and complexly as all of you. My apologies.
