Umm..scuse me? Were the last 8 years bad?
Until two years ago, which happens to coincide with the last congressional elections where the democrats gained a majority:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
This was AFTER inheriting the dot-com bust of the late 90s. Sure things are a little slow now, but a lot of that really is mental. Oh yeah:
We're really winning in Iraq, really.
Your house most likely is still worth what it was in 2004, which was wayyyy above peak averages for appreciation
No Terror attacks in 7 years on american soil.
Man, this country is really going down the shitter. We better "change" something..and fast!
