“the usual nonsense of those who believe that the GOP under Bush has led this nation to greatness. check out and see what your homes are now worth; check the deficit; check the state of our military; check job loss; check inflation and gas prices and on and on and on…”

>My house is worth double what is was under Clinton.

>Gas is the same as it was under Jimmy Carter when adjusted for inflation, despite the growth of two new, huge industrial economies, China and India.

>Unemployment, 4.8% is lower now than an average of all the Clinton years.

>The military has successfully fought two wars on two continents with a minimal of casualties and loss to civilian life; much in contrast to WW2 or Vietnam, two wars fought by Democratic presidents.

>Inflation at about 3.3% is historically low.

So, tell me, what am I checking for…how good we have it?
