  • From The INBOX: Probably Worth The Read

    Posted by Andy on May 23rd, 2008

    My Mom forwarded this one over this morning.

    Remember the election in 2006?

    Thought you might like to read the following

    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 controlled Congress in 2006 we have seen:

    1) Consumer confidence plummet;

    2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.00 a gallon;

    3) Unemployment is up to 5% (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 for foreclosure.

    America voted for “change” in 2006, and we got it!

    There’s a ton more in it. I’ll post more later.
