I heard two great statistics on NPR this evening that pretty much sum up the effectiveness of Repug handling of the economy. First the number of cars "torched" in Colorado to get out from under loans or to generate cash has risen from 7 in 2000 to 83 in 2005. Second, the number of homeless in Co. has gone from about 3,ooo to about 15,000 in the same period.
Real wages, meanwhile, have fallen by two percent in the same period. Sounds like not much until you realize that during the entire period, productivity and corporate profits have risen, profitability to its highest percentage of GDP since the 1960's.
Like what's going on? Continue to vote Repug, the party of stay the course.
Want change?
