[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 823292, member: 4932"] Bush-Cheney legacy that will last generations: Their administration more than doubled the National Debt adding $6.1 trillion. Five million manufacturing jobs lost and 8.5 million lost during the Bush Great Recession. 2002-2007 median wages dropped while more people went into poverty. By 2008, household wealth went down $14 trillion. In 2006, home equity was $13 trillion; mid-2008, it was $8.8 trillion. In 2006, retirement assets were $10.3 trillion; by mid-2008, it was $8 trillion. Savings and investments after 2006 lost $1.2 trillion, while pension assets lost $1.3 trillion. In 2007, state pension funds were 96 percent funded so do not blame unions. These are real numbers. The unfettered crony capitalism as espoused by the GOP brought the world economy to it's knees and wiped out millions of families. And the bankers took taxpayer money and paid obscene bonuses for their 'success' Now the GOP wants to continue on this path, and destroy the programs of the poorest and most vulnerable, while the fatcat defense industries, the oil companies, and the hedge fund scamsters live high on the hog. Shame.... [/QUOTE]
