Post by: 240 is Back on October 29, 2008, 08:36:43 PM

Went down 2000 per household under Bush.

The collapse of our monetary system?

How much value has the dollar lost in the past 8 years? Over 40 percent?

Dollar has lost 41% of its value against the Euro since Bush took the oath of office.

Factor in the increased cost of gas and things get uglier.

I bet Obama is somehow to blame for this.

Electing avg Joe Bushes is what did it.  Need Professionals to run the country with superior human intelligence.  People like, Clinton, Obama, Powell, Buffett... etc...

We already had a "Joe my dad gave me a baseball team and I ran off his name" run the country... we dont need another "joe my dads name pushed me through the ranks in the military, and i married a rich chick to get my wealth"...

Any questions?

that's why many say there's a shrinking middle class.

Companies made a shitload of money - but most people lost money.

A small few got REALLY rich (running the business of war, oil, and construction). 
But 90% of people got poorer (as they were funding it).

Stop complaining, it's just redistribution of wealth to those who lobby hardest  :P

The internet boom happened.   That might have helped?

Your $300 websites cost 30k then.
