Remember the election in 2006 when Dems took over congress?? In 2005...
1) consumer confidence stood at the highest level it had been in 2 1/2 years
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 to an all time low
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.00 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5%
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 dollars;
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.
Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.
