So, people wanted *change* in 2006. Right?

Well, how's that working out for all of us?

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 well over $3 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.1% (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.

Remember folks, sometimes "change" ain't all it's cracked-up to be.

PS - Yes, I know this one has been around for a while - but it's still well worth noting... And we know damn well the media would be pounding this drum at full-blast if the Congress had swung GOP in 2006, right?

And yes, I'm perfectly well aware that these are lies, damn lies, statistics - but again, what would be the prevailing media mantra were the GOP still running congress now, eh?

That's what I'm really trying to get at here - in case you were wondering.
