Economy OK! Thanks Mr. Bush I certainly couldn't have guessed.

Just in case you are one of those people who is finding it difficult to heat your home this winter because Heating Oil is around $3 a gallon. Or more expensive to commute to work as gasoline hovers around $3.06 a gallon. Christmas is almost upon us and you may be feeling the crunch from buying those requisite gifts. Maybe you're thinking you can do without that medication for a week or two so you can buy a little extra from the supermarket. Or maybe you're really feeling the crunch because you're one of those laid off as your jobs goes to China or India or who knows where, and your unemployment is winding down and you have yet to find a good job. But rest easy the Great Communicator once said, "Unemployment insurance is a pre-paid vacation for freeloaders." so you're getting a vacation, enjoy it! But you can truly rest easy because George W. Bush says the US economy is really safe and sound. There you have it, what more do you need to know?! Let's not forget that we have a war that our government continues to spend billions of dollars to wage. (We need to rebuild all that Iraqi infrastructure we blew the snot out of.) Consumer Confidence is at an all time low. As the housing market and credit crunch threaten to send the country into recession, our president goes into denial and says, hey all is well. Well of course it is for your ilk you idiot! You been raised never wanting for a thing, unlike the majority of us. I think we need some jobs programs. How about making education affordable? Bush says raising taxes would only make things worse, I suppose that depends on who you're raising them on doesn't it? I dare say some of your ultra rich buddies could probably afford a tax hike. Let's not forget this moron stole office with a huge surplus and quickly turned it into a record deficit. More than all presidents before him combined. Interesting article here on US Debt. It's one thing to use that debt to make improvements in your infrastructure and investments in your populace. It's another to throw it into military conquest and big breaks and payola for all your buddies. I am just glad to know that the US economy is safe and sound. Hey, George said so and we know it's just not in his constitution to lie right? Right?
