You are right Gene, The dems have controlled the last 2 years. My point 
remains the same, The worst periods I recall are when EITHER party controlled 
house, senate and the White House. If you want more of the early Bush years, 
or the Carter years so be it. Laying on taxes during a recession is not wise. 
Promising Trillions in new spending and a?tax cut for 95 percent of the 
populace is not wise. This is what Carter did, and Unemployment soared. It 
was 28 percent in my area (Michigan) and inflation was something over 10 
percent as I recall. I just don't like either party having free reign to do 
as they please.

Bush was supported by a Republican majority in Congress for his first  
six years. The Democrats came to slim majority less than two years  
ago. So, it was mostly Republicans who signed off on what Bush  
proposals, not Democrats.

Drew, you are as always entitled to your opinions but you are not  
entitled to rewrite history.

Bush was supported by a Republican majority in Congress for his first  
six years. The Democrats came to slim majority less than two years
