The kind of change you get with Democrats

Another tidbit from Karen (thanks!)

Hmmmmm, any connection you think?

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 the Democrats took over Congress in 2006:

1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) the cost of regular gasoline soared to over $3 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 foreclosure.

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