I thought it was decided that since Palin could see Russia from her house, she had more experience but Obama was anointed as the Holy Savior and could do no wrong. Why would we open it back up to debate?
Too bad you don't know econ so you'd understand a little more.
You ought to get a clue.
Wow. 25% over 8 years = Less than 3% annually.
(Lesson for today: This is actually a healthy level of inflation. Low levels in price level changes would mean high interest rates and be prohibitive to investing, and therefore be bad for job creation/unemployment. The high interest rates would make the dollar worth more, but without jobs people cannot afford much from abroad anyway. As low as our interest rates are, we do have good productivity which is indicated by the level of FDI here. Let the cheap manufacturing jobs go abroad or someone else would replace our investment with theirs, and then be the place to go to for high $ / high quality and highly productive production)
And why are you blaming Bush administration? Just because he was there?
We have an awful trade imbalance. We're borrowing money to deal with all the medicare/medicaid we're giving out but not taking in enough.
How is this Bush's fault?
Connecting Bush with dollar value over his tenure is "simple", at best. And anyone who wants you to think 25% over 8 years is bad wants to mislead the uninformed, uneducated, or gullible... aka liberals
back to the patriot act thing.. with the influx of Iraqi refugees I'm really glad we have the capacity and ability to keep an eye on them. I'm sure nearly all of them are benign, but I can guarantee you there will be some with ulterior motives for coming over here.
I don't think that's even relevant, the point is when government has gained a certain power, they are pretty reluctant to give it up (kinda like after they've raised taxes). don't expect the patriot act to go away any time soon.
Now go look and see which party was responsible for it.

Your version made it seem like he was a kook that thought it would never be reasonable to ever give up a fraction of liberty for social order, protection, or security. Government by sheer existence takes a bit of freedom from its people, even in pure democracy a person may not get what he wants if he's on the losing side of the vote. Unless you're 5 years old, you know you can't always get what you want and there are rules to follow. Laws limit one's liberty, but we accept them to protect our lives, our property, and remaining liberties.
You have been ranting and raving about how you hate Bush and think he is bad. He was the leader of the executive brand, but Congress represented the American people. They represented how their constituents felt at the time and voted to satisfy their desires.
If the American people didn't think much of the consequences because of the fear of more attacks, then maybe when they have taken a breath and realize they are still in power by their vote that they can let those who represent them know that an adjustment dialing invasion of privacy needs to occur. But BLAMING those who were in charge is ignoring who put them there and who tells them how to vote (that call or letter, not youtube or a fucking blog online).
No I have not. I have never said Bush is bad. I have said his administration has made mistakes that made this country worse today than it was when they were elected.
I am bored of repeating myself. Stop misquoting me, misinterpreting me and trying to make me the one ranting.
You have and continue to be the boards resident debater.
