America asked for a change

A little over one year ago:
1)  Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2)  Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3)  The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we've seen:
1)  Consumer confidence plummet;
2)  The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3 a gallon;
3)  Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4)  American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses)
5)  Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6)  1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!  Thank you, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the Democratic Majority.

The most significant accomplishment by the Democratic controlled Congress in 2007:
THEY VOTED TO INCREASE THEIR PAY !!!

Oh, they also managed to drop their approval rating to the lowest in history!
