All right, simple question. Can you really say you're better off than you
were four years ago?



Let's see, four years ago the economy was slowing, today the economy is
growing. Yup, looks like we can really say we're better off today than we
were four years ago.


During the Bush Boom, the economy has managed to lose 3 million jobs.

And add roughly around $22,000 worth of federal debt onto every person in this country.

Your math is off, the public debt has not increased by 6.4 trillion
dollars since he started signing federal budgets.

Currently there is (according to the latest figures) 23,960 in debt
for every American. Here is where 95% of that debt comes from.

4,078 - Bush Jr
4,772 - Clinton
5,312 - Bush Sr
6,252 - Reagan
1,059 - Carter
1,199 - Nixon/Ford

It seems that neither party has nothing to brag about when the topic
of fiscal responsibility comes up.
