We forget that Congress is more responsible for what happens, rather than the president.

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%.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR A CHANGE
(They elected a majority of Democrats to Congress)
AND THEY GOT IT:

1. Consumer confidence plummet;
2. The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3 a gallon;
3. Unemployment is up to 5%;
4. American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5. Americans have had their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6. 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

The most significant accomplishment by the Democrat controlled Congress in 2007:
THEY VOTED TO INCREASE THEIR PAY!
