Remember this if/when you are arguing with a Liberal on whose fault it is,....
The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009 -- it was actually January 3rd 2007.
The day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives & Senate, the start of the 110th Congress.
The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.
"For those of you who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault," think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress.
At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was +3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!
Remember the day.
January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS for taking us from 12,621 DOW, +3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOS!
(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy).
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? Barack OBAMA did.
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? Barack OBAMA, Barney "Mumbles" Frank and Chris Dodd & the rest of the Democratic Congress.
So when some idiot tries to blame Bush for all that's still wrong ...
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007 THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!
Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel of the car they were driving.
Set the record straight on Bush! Check out the Bruce Hough Blog
And remember what Ronald Reagan said,....."It's not that liberals aren't smart, it's just that so much of what they know isn't so."

You Cut Rollup - So Far
Previous Cuts Chosen By the Public under Eric Cantor's (D-VA) You Cut Program:
Each week, the public votes on which items should be brought to the House Floor. Here is a list of previous winning items.
Week One: Cut the New Non-Reformed Welfare Program ($25 Billion Savings)
Week Two: Eliminate Federal Employee Pay Raise ($30 Billion Savings)
Week Three: Reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($30 Billion Savings)
Week Four: Sell Excess Federal Property ($15 Billion Savings)
Week Five: Prohibit Hiring New IRS Agents to Enforce Health Care Law ($15 Billion Savings)
Week Six: Taxpayer Subsidized Union Activities ($1.2 Billion Savings)
Week Seven: Prohibit Stimulus Funding for Promotional Signage (Tens of Millions)
Week Eight: Prohibit Sleeper Car Subsidies on Amtrak ($1.2 billion Savings)
Week Nine: Bipartisan Proposal to Terminate AEITC ($1.1 billion Savings)
If only we had a conservative Congress in majority who could pass these bills onto the Senate then to the President. I am under no illusion that he (Obama) will approve these cuts, but at least we can expose the tax and spend politicians for what they are.
