For the last eight years we have been treated to a constant barrage of Bush-bashing. I'm glad that that is finally over, and I don't wish to respond to the Opposition in the same way....BUT, when a member of the Opposition is so blatantly stupid in public, I do feel it's incumbent on those of us who have not drunk the DemoCrapic Kool-Aid to point that stupidity out.

The latest data (July 200 indicates the entire population of the United States is just approaching 304 million. Those in the workforce represent less than half that number.... I know I was edumacated indoctrinated in a Publik Skool, but even I can see that Ms. Pelosi's statement has a little mathematical problem attached to it....500,000 workers a month Ms Pelosi?!? out of a workforce of approximately 140,000,000? If true, that means we would have an unemployment rate of over 20 percent in just four months...the worst year of the Great Depression we had an unemployment rate of just under 20%....I know we're have some economic troubles, but..

I just don't believe that we are headed that far that fast, and if we are, I have a question. Read below the fold if you are curious what the question is (rant alert), if not, just consider Ms. Pelosi's public statements and consider if you feel comfortable with her being third in the line of succession for the Presidency...

In our form of government, Congress is ultimately responsible for the policies that affect our economy for good or ill; for the economy to experience such a drastic downturn in such a short period of time it is obvious that one or more of those policies currently in place are, to put it mildly, a disaster.

WHICH party has been the majority in the last two year economic cycle? Yes Bush was the leader, and he does bear a responsibility, but NO President can institute any policy without the consent of Congress...President Bush warned of economic trouble coming in the housing market over two years ago, but was decried as a "fear monger" and worse, a racist, by the Democratic Majority and was unable to institute any policy that would have for-stalled the crisis by that Majority.

Now those chickens have come home to roost and those that are at the root of the problem are proposing to mortgage our grand-children's economic future for their own short term political gain.

They are depending on the fact that most of the Electorate is too stupid to know that they are being manipulated and lied to...and judging from the choices made in the last election, they are at least 52% correct.
