ECLECTIC ELECTIONS EMINENCES # 6 -- HOW LONG IS OUR MEMORY?

Remember the election in 2006? Before voting a Democratic Congress in 2006...
- Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high
- Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon
- The unemployment rate was 4.5%. 

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen...
- Consumer confidence plummet
- The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.70 a gallon
- Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase)
- American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses)
- Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars
- 1% of American homes are in foreclosure
- Food prices skyrocketing over 30% in 1 year

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it! And now Obama would like us to vote for more change. Remember, it is Congress that makes the laws and spends our money -- not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.
