What were the Bush policies which led to unemployment to continue to steadily rise?

Maybe you should invent a time machine so they can all act on hindsight. Times were good financially for the average American up until about mid 2008. Wasn't much to complain about.

Of course when the current economy is hitting everyone in the pockets and people are losing there houses wondering if they'll be able to keep a roof over they're kids heads, government plans aren't working, taxes are heading in the wrong direction, many have never seen such sad times. The pres is breaking his campaign promises about spending and even lending taxpayer money to foreign companies where his friends stand to benefit.

I don't see why anyone would stand up and clap for someone stating the obvious rather than acting on it.

"All Americans need water" clap clap clap "yea yea we do, we do need water!!" clap clap clap. "Anyone who didn't clap thinks we don't need water"

The government as a whole is very corrupt and isn't working in our best interest. I'm not a "tea partier" but a reformist... I won't be happy voting anyone into our current political system, rep or dem, without seeing first a major overhaul. It's starting to look like Revolution is our only option...

God help us!
