The Mother Board

It can always get worse. People tend to place too much blame on the president for economic problems. In truth the president has very little control over what the economy does.

If you want to gripe about the price of gas then keep in mind who is truly to blame for the high cost. Here is part of an article from 2005 but it does address the true cause of the problem.

I will tend to disagree with that and note in the past the Presidents have helped control prices with flooding the market with our reserves.

Which the past eight years we did not see that happen once. He had a good reason though, he sold them at below market cost for $50.00 a barrel when it was at $70.00 and I mean all of them.

Carter. Reagan, Daddy Bush and Clinton all used this tactic to control prices of fuel.

Plus the economy fell to foreign fallout of Mr. Bush and the counties he utterly and totally disrespected.

I could see if he was elected after doing a good job in TX but,,,,

I can not say on that issue and all I can note on is that while he was in office for the state, education levels dropped. This was due to cut backs in state education spending.

Things that make you go hmmmmm.

I am not saying that President Bush was a great president. He did make his share of mistakes. I do get tired of people blaming him for things that he did not have very much control of. He did his job by protecting the United States from any more attacks. That is his job, to protect us from enemies, foreign and domestic. If you read the job of the federal government as spelled out in the constitution, you would see that their primary job is to protect the people and states from attack from other countries.

Congress could have lowered the price of oil very easily by opening up the off shore drilling or allowing the coal to be turned into oil. They had plenty of opportunity to do this. The price of oil finally dropped once they started talking about opening up the off shore drilling.

And I thought I was trolling.

i will counter that the last 16 years have sucked. it's just a matter of whether or not you have benefitted from eihther "era" of politics.

coming from a lower-middle-class household and then working myself through my own education into the middle-to-upper-middle-class over the last 10 years makes me realize that all 10 of them have been full of absolute bull$&*%. I, and my parents, have lost all retirement investments...we both are in the same situation that we were in 15+ years ago, due mostly to policies which were enacted 10+ years in the past.

i appreciate the fact that geforce thinks he has an actual right to post complete BS, and find it informative of the upcoming batch of "hireable" employees that i will eventually need to work with. i fear the day I'm forced to work with those who graduated from high school after 2002...I have yet to meet a substantial majority of those which have any idea of the impact their lack of discipline and moral baselines have on the general economy and those which attempt to push them in a better direction with regards to their professional achievements....

really, it's just sad.

Ge FOrce 543, trolling? I beg to differ.
Go ahead, keep your head in the sand. I don't mind. It's not my head.
When the SHTF, where will you be? Where will you stand? There is a "line in the sand", it is drawn deep. On one side are those who do not know what is going on and what is at stake. On the other side, are those who see through the smokey veil of Zionism and the NWO and who will fight to preserve their 'rights' of freedom and integrity. And this for sure, when the SHTF, don't try to cross over that line onto this side, for those on the other side have made their beds, now let them sleep in it.
