Borrowed from Donald Abitz: This Election Cycle proved a few things to me…Americans suffer from memory loss!!!!!!…The Right Wing Propaganda Machine Works!!!!.....and Democrats did not think this election was important enough to get out and vote!!!!............Americans forgot what happened just 6 short years ago after Republicans controlled the presidency 20 of 28 years and both The House and the Senate for the entire decade (1997-2007) leading us into the Great Recession……(Ironically, the same thing is true about the Great Depression)…..remember 6 Years Ago????.... The Stock Market Crashed….Retirement 401K Savings Destroyed…..Home Equity was Destroyed…..The Real Estate Market was Destroyed……..The Banking Industry Crashed……The US Auto Industry Destroyed……..7 Trillion Dollar Wars were started………..Price of Crude Oil went from $25-$138 Unemployment was on its way to 10%.......Most Individuals Health Insurance rates nearly doubled from 2001-2008……..Now we give control of Congress back to the Republicans???……Really???....WTF???…..what makes you think things will be different this time???……Must I remind you …..the Republicans…..want to Privatize Social Security (So the next time the Market slumps there goes your retirement)…..Voucherize your Medicare…..are against Minimum Wage……Against Campaign Finance Reform(Getting money out of politics)…Against Equal Pay....…Against.Protecting women from violence…....Voted against any meaningful Jobs legislation..…..Against Student Debt Relief…....Against bring jobs home legislation…....Against Infrastructure (Would create 2 Million Jobs according to the CBO)........Against immigration Reform….etc…..etc….etc…...........Tell me WTF are they for?????.....Besides Tax Breaks for Billionaires, More Deregulation of Wall Street and Businesses.....repealing Worker safety and rights issues and Clean Air and Water Initiatives (Their ideas of Jobs Bills).......Boots on the ground (More War).......Go ahead tell me!!!!! Say welcome to the TPP (Democrats were blocking)........ and Good Bye!!!! to more American Jobs !!!!! (Research it) Here is a little reminder of the FACTS since Democrats took over control we have seen. Gas prices are plunging…. Our dependency on foreign oil is lowest in 3 decades……..We lead the world in Oil Production. (U.S. Energy Information Administration) Manufacturing jobs are coming back at rates not seen since the mid 90’s (BLS) U3 Unemployment is around 6% and U6 unemployment has been cut by 8% (Forbes and BLS)....That number (U6) includes Americans that have given up looking for work, or working Part Time and are on the Fringe. After losing 5.5 Million jobs in 2007 and 2008 alone (BLS)…and shedding 900,000 more jobs a month when Obama first took office....we have had 56 straight months of job growth…………In the past 12 months, “firms added 2.2 million jobs to their payrolls. Twelve-month job growth has hovered between 2.1 million and 2.5 million: (Wall Street Journal and BLS) Deficit spending has been cut by over half and is equivalent to 2.8% GDP, marking the smallest deficit since 2007….Note: Since 1980, the deficit has averaged roughly 3.2% of GDP.” (Wall street journal and CBO) Rate of increased annual spending reduced to 1.4% as of the end of Fiscal Year 2013 the lowest in 60 Years………..(CBO and OMB)….(Reagan 8.6%..........Bush Sr. 5.8% ………Bush Jr. 10.2%)………(So much for Republican Fiscal Conservatism and Small Government????……..LMAO) Stock Market, retirement investments and returns on investments at all time highs (Wall Street Journal)………….. Corporate Profits are at all time highs. (Forbes) and yet Middle Class wages are stagnant…..who pays these wages????….time to put the blame where it belongs........... Bankruptcies and Foreclosures are down. How many more do you want??????? And now we are going to throw away the progress that has been made and give control back to the Republicans??????....... With their Historical record on the economy????..............are U Kidding me?????
