Bush's Last Big Lie......... |
|
Have you noticed that no one in the federal government calls it a "recession"?...How can that be?
A few months ago, industrial activity increased, as opposed to "decreased"..If it would have decreased, it would have been a number of quarters in a row, which would have been an "official" recession..How did that happen.?
Huge increases in spending for military hardware and the so called "surge" allowed a slight expansion of the economy then. So Bush, and none of his people call it a recession, but the rest of the world does. It could be much worse, but the last new big lie, is his stubborn refusal to tell the total truth about the economy. Leave it to Obama.
Doesn't matter does it? It will always be called.."Bush's recession", or "depression" or whatever"

1. At least he doesn't call it the "Obama recession". |

This seems to be the latest meme from the radio gasbags.

4. The usless scack of crap could resign (with Cheney too), let Obama come in,,that might |
|
help this world.
But he will continue along his sick demented road. Holding meetings and photo ops. And having a few "regrets" about some stupid remarks. He will never admit real mistakes. He is too delusional and self centered.

harder to make speeches and publish after Jan 20. He will carry that ball and chain forever. And he will never admit that it is there. A sick delusional little man who will be unable to make any real public appearances before real groups of people till he dies. (exclude inauguration)..only select groups of his "crowd" will pay to listen. But even that exclusive group is getting smaller and smaller. As the truth of his total incompetency emerges, and the destruction of his Republican Party becomes complete, even that small group of true believers will evolve into a sick small group never realizing that their delusions have gone the way of 45 rpm records.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving crowd of losers.

7. This is far worse than a simple recession. |
|
I lived and worked through the Nixon/Ford/Carter/Reagan recessions. We got a house loan for 13% interest and thought we had a good deal. Gas prices went up, wages (for the middle class) were frozen, gas rationing went into effect and the the bush brothers got their millions out of the Savings and Loan scandal. But none of that was as bad as it is now.
The U6 unemployment rate is now 11.8% and that is what this liar-in-chief is willing to tell us. You know it is much, much higher. I can't even find a part-time X-mas sales clerk job. My husband got laid off and the only thing he can find is a $7.50 per hour job. He has a bachelor's degree and a very good resume but there is NOTHING out there, No decent jobs, No jobs with benefits.
This is the absolute worse I've ever seen it. We never before (in my life span anyway) have had banks go under, credit freeze up, jobs shipped to foreign countries, major corporation going under, wages dropping, Wall street collapsing, 2 wars, all at the same time. We always managed to get by before but now I wonder if we aren't going to go under.
This is the worse economic crisis I have ever lived through and it is much, much worse than a simple old recession.

9. They aren't calling it a recession...yet. |
|
But miraculously, virtually overnight, once Obama is sworn in, it will be Obama's Recession. Rush Limpballs has already started the process. And the M$M will work in concert with those who used to be in power to drag down Obama's presidency.
Which is why the Dems must act fast to put regulations in place on media ownership, diversity in the market, and bring back an updated Fairness Doctrine to give equal time to progressives to stamp out the lies idiots like Limpballs spew out.
They will expect Americans to believe that while on the brink of recession, Bush was able to keep the economy out of recession, but once Barack took over, that was it! RECESSION! After 8 years of prosperity for all, the new (black) president has inflicted the country with...RECESSION!
Hurry! Cut taxes for the wealthy! (It's worked so well in the past.)
Hurry! Slash those capital gains taxes! (It will create millions of jobs...somewhere else.)

care what bush wants or thinks. We just want him to bow out quietly without causing anymore harm. We all might as well face the fact that it will take decades to get bush's mess cleaned up. That's why it is so important to keep a Democratic president and majority in office for many many terms.
