All our economic problems are from, or have been increased, by the Democrat Congress.
Gas prices have risen from under $3.00 a gallon in 2006 to over $4.00 a gallon before Bush removed the executive order of his own father against off-shore drilling. Has Congress followed Bush's lead? Pelosi is not allowing any off-shore drilling measures from even coming to a vote, to save the Earth and destroy our economy. Congress is bailing out the mortgage crises they created and rewarding the irresponsible behavior of a small percentage of mortgage holders who should have never qualified for a loan.
We are about to be hit by the second raise in the minmum wage, as mandated by Congress. It will result in even more unemployment among low skilled workers and students looking for summer work and more cries from liberals to increase it even more.
The liberal Democrat Congress passed ethanol legislation, increasing demand for corn and taking more acreage away from the growing of alternative crops. This arbitrary, economically vacant decision also reduced the yeilds of other crops, their supply and drove up their prices and the price of corn on the coomodities market, not the speculators. At the same time, the cost of corn in hundreds of products has increased their retail and wholesale prices as well, while adding to inflation. Then there is the resulting hunger and food riots among people all around the world who are dependent on cheap, American raised corn. See my "Counting the Ways" posting to this blog on 7-7-08 at 4:21 PM. Thank you, liberal Democrat members of Congress, for your endemic imbecility.
Who is paying for it all and allowing the inmates to run the asylum? We are, as a result of enough conservatives deciding to sit out the 2006 election to give the Liberal Democrats majorities in both houses. We are going to make it even worse by doing the same thing this year. Who says the election is over, Obama the next President and that the Democrats will increase their dominance in Congress? The news media tells us this every day, but too may of us accept these premises as accomplished facts. Berra is right, it's not over until it's over. The election is not over and the fat lady has not sung. Right now, she has laryngitis and we are tone deaf.
