Yes let's go back to the days when the Republican Party was in control of both houses and the presidency. Those fun days when countless big companies in the auto industry and Wall Street were on the verge of bankruptcy and the DJ was at 8900 and gas was over $4.00 a gallon. Yes those Republicans knew how to run things Originally Posted by BigLouieLets see if you even know what you're talking about. First of all the president has very little control over Gas prices. But for the sake of argument when Bush left office gas on average was 1.78/gal. Gas did reach an all time high of just a little over 4.00/gal in the summer of 2008 and fell to 2.15 /gal by Nov. Gas prices now are an average of about 3.64/gal. Gas prices have increased almost every month since 2009, since Obama has been in office. Although we haven't seen 4.00/gal. again, we've seen small steady increases without any significant drop in prices. Although Bush was no prize, Obama is no whizz at strengthening the economy either.

We've established Government entitlements in terms of food and nutrition for the under employed and unemployed through the Food Stamp Program, WIC, Income assistance through unemployment asst. and now of course Healthcare through the ACA. What's next, well this video indicates to me it would be energy and transportation through another devised government program of some sort.
God help us if they regain control of both houses of Congress and the White House................ Originally Posted by WhirlawayIf it were 1990, I would agree with you. Back when there were Republicans who were willing to compromise, negotiate, and come to what everybody agreed was the best result for the country. No more. Lunatics like you control the debate in the Republican party and you are bound and determined to impose your crazy vision of what the United States should be on all of the rest of us. Well, guess what, fuck you, we aren't going along, you fucking nutjob.
