the stock market closed at 1999 levels today - that is what Bush and deregulation are all about - they had record profits and guess who got them all - that is what deregulation is - massive profits for the top 1 per cent of the top 1 per cent with no trickle down

the economy grew for them - wow I'm so delighted for them

..this is wierd recession...the economy is

GROWING!

After 30 years in the private sector, I now have a new definition of recession:

Less-than-Massive Growth.

Don't like the economy????Let's recap:

High gas prices - Obama says it's no big deal! Bush, correctly, told you to go drill domestically, and you thumbed your noses at him, then bought an SUV.

How's that working now?

Mortgage Blowout? - Bush doesn't loan money for homes, after all, that's COUNTRYWIDE's job, and to loan it to the likes of Senator Obama and Sen. Chris Dodd. - Go ask them why...

Other dem-lib successes:

Ethanol from grain- thanks to dem libnazi alt fuels wanking, you are now getting it upp the ass on food.

No new refining for the last 30 years.

No new manufacturing of steel, chemicals, parts, bearings, other metals and all the stuff we are now getting cornholed for.

Nonetheless, the Bush economic juggernaut just keeps chugging!

SP4...I know you and I are on completely different ends of the field, but why are taking the 'lie and hope it sticks' approach. Everything you say in your comments is a lie or only half true. I would think that a man of your means would have more class than that????

Given that you are a confirmed misanthrope, Jenny, I would think that you should be delighted by this. Surely you do not want large numbers of people being able to afford children, right? You advise us not to even adopt, children.

What do you think happens to these children who are never adopted? Why would you want them to grow up without a family? Oh, wait! I get it. You think that if they grow up without families they will either die or die sooner than people who were brought up in a family, right?

I have seen some nasty pieces of work in my time, but you take the cake, Baby.

case is weak to say the least. Please, please put a cork in it sp. Each day and each post you make, you embarrass yourself and besides being sad, it's getting old.
