Fri, 21 Nov 2008 16:07:23 +0000 http://www.bizzyblog.com/?p=7722#comment-126053 We are 2 years into the Democrat/Obama economy. All of the economic downturn that we are seeing is a direct result of Democrat policies - increase minimum wage, refusal to make tax rate cuts permanent let alone affect further cuts, blocking Fannie/Freddie and other financial reforms - regardless of a Republican president. Bush has essential been a Democrat since 2004, but even a RINO Congress were able to keep things afloat. Then with a Democrat Congress since 2007 we have had essentially one-party rule, and you se what we got. Since things weren't bad enough, 53% of voters wanted worse, now we have a socialist government, and look what is happening - even before inauguration. I keep laughing at my Obama friends who keep trying to blame Bush as I explain the above. I tell them, wait 'til next year as the complaints start about rising unemployment, even higher deficits, and the coming inflation. I promise to laugh and remind them, "This is what you said you wanted. You were warned that this is exatly what was going to happen, but you wanted a Black president regardless of the consequences. Now you got it, so shut up and enjoy the misery you voted for." A conservative and president with a conservative (not just Republican) Congress is what we need; and this is the only combination that we haven't had since Coolidge - at least one or the other gives us social stability and economic growth. However, we voted for the exact opposite, and I vow to be the biggest "I told you so" in history. My 16-year old son thinks I'm a prescient genius since I predicted this economic course months ago if Obama won, before the news spouted anything of AIG, the Democrat-Paulson manufactured credit crisis, and the failed Obama-Bush bailout. When he asks, How did you know?" I tell him, "History. Dem president with Dem Congress equals economic nightmare and social upheaval(i.e. Carter, LBJ, FDR).
