Well now Let me start a fire. For the last 6-8 years the Republicans have been in power in our capital. That means that no laws get passed unless approved by the Republican majority and the only laws that get passed benefit them, with a Republican president, that means everything done by the U.S. govt. since at least 2000 has been done by Republicans. ( for those of you that don't know our system, there are 2 partys that control our Govt. the other one is the Democratic party, with no control since 2000) My question is this: do you think the U.S. and the world is better off now than in the 1990s? I will answer my opinion later!

"I will answer my opinion later!"

Has "later" gotten here yet? So far, you haven't "answered your opinion."

We were better off before the current administration.

In what ways?

Vi

IN All ways!

Let's see,
Since the Bush has been in office there has been a steady decline in the middle class.
We had wiped out the national debt under the Clinton Administration.
Who ever the Next president is will have to make a Tax increase that would make Clinton's Tax Increase look like a drop in the bucket in order to undo the damage that the Fiscal Irresponsibility that has been shown under Bush's watch.

I can go on, but there is a limit as to how many words can be posted per post. so I will limit my comment here for the time being.

well said dank

No, not well said at all. Nothing was documented and errors were made. For example, Dank is confusing the year-to-year budget defict with the national debt. The national debt is the on-going, overall debt. Honesty would be the admission that the Democrats had power in this country for over 50 years and they grew the national debt all along the way.

Since the Bush tax cuts, productivity has skyrocketed. The increased revenue (taxes) from that productivity has cut the budget deficit almost in half. The remaining debt reflects the expenditures of the Iraq war.

If the Democrats take power during the next election cycle and raise the income tax rates as Dank suggests, the economic boom will end and we will enter into a recession. Can ya say "Jimmy Carter?"

I don't support Bush's immigration policies or his inability to find his veto pen.

Other than that, I think the Dankster is right on. *lol*

bull! I mean Bullshiza! Your documentation reeks of right wing Bullshiza, I don't know who makes up your "facts", but he should be de-capitated as his head is not working. All you have to do is look at the big picture and you'll see how much worse the country is now than when your Darling Bushhole took office. Don't bother to pepper me with your "facts" as I don't believe a word you post! By the way, genius, Where is your documentation that ther were not 650,000 Iraqis killed since mar. 2003? Ignoring that one aren't you!

"It's the economy, stupid!"

PS: Why post the same question in several different threads? If you do a search through my posts today, you'll find that I've answered your 650,000 question.
