death by bad chart
my goodness

I got a perfect score on the science reasoning section of the ACT, but I can't even begin to read that chart.

seriously, who makes a chart like that without indicating any delta values to indicate relative changes or any easy marking as to which increases they are blaming on which party.

as tracy jordan would say "it's inscrutible"

Got to agree with you here. And for part of that time the Republicans held the Congress. The chart is meaningless.

GOP=WHIG
It's nobody's fault but their own. They learned nothing from the '06 losses, came right back with McCain/Kennedy in '07, nominated McAmnesty.

GOP-RIP

Wow
That's some pretty powerful stuff. Granted it takes a certain level of education and knowledge to be able to interpret the numbers (hint: Look at the number before and after Democrats take control of Congress). And granted not all the numbers are good for Republicans and bad for Democrats (particularly the euro/dollar comparison). But still, wow.

Hell started with Clinton
It sure wasn't Clinton who brought about the surplus. It's interesting how liberal presidents bring the appearance of prosperity while they're in office and so they look like heros. But the good they appear to do is like a time-bomb that eventually blows up a few years down the road, and the sitting president, which is usully a republican, gets blamed, even when it's a lie. Well, that's exactly what's going on right now. Fannie May and Freddie Mack - Clinton's policies caused that crisis. All the chickens are coming home to roost, and of course, the sleazy demoncrats don't want to take credit now. Oh no, they blame Bush and the Rebuplicans. They know it's a law, but they're all about doing and saying whatever it takes to mislead the American people to stay in power!!! Pure evil.

The years of economic prosperity were from 1994-2006.
1994 is the year Republicans gained control of Congress......
2006 is the year Democrats re-gained control of Congress.....
1994-2000 were Clinton's last 6 of his 8 yrs as President....
2000-2006 were GWB's first 6 of his 8 yrs as President....
Still following me Sarahjane...or do I need to go slower???
The best recent years of economic prosperity are EXACTLY the same yrs that the Republicans ruled Congress.
This is NOT a coincidence!!
This financial meltdown and the skyrocketing fuel prices we recently lived through, happened after "Loony" Pelosi, "Spineless" Reid and the Dems took over Congress.
This is NOT a coincidence either!!
Break out of your trance and see the facts!!!!

Sarahjane..
I noticed that you DIDN'T dispute the prosperous years of 1994-2000 as being under the control of the Republican Party. Clinton did inherit a mess.....wreaked on us by a DEMOCRATIC Congress.
AND NOW....we have a mess again as the Dems have control of Congress once more......

These are FACTS.....not hysterics!!

It just shows how utterly delusional you are, if you think Goober Jimmy was ANYTHING other than a terrible President.

AND ONCE AGAIN......the best economic years (1994-2000), occurred while Congress was controlled by the Republican Party.....

What is it about that FACT that you just can't seem to grasp in that brainwashed mind of yours?

Its Funny
Its Funny how When Clinton ran for his second 4 years he would yell...OMG the Social Security is Lost Its Lost,,,Now tell me this you intelligent Libs...So there was a surplus? There never was a surplus and you are just telling lies, there has never been a surplus!
The only thing that came out of Clinton's Years was you found out what was sex and what wasn't. and the 101 ways to get a BJ in the white house.
Your Clinton trashed the White House and The United States!

Vote Mccain/Palin 08
