Eight years since Bill left office..(dang, how time flies!!)
Despate his pecker keeping him in a heapa trouble... He left us in pretty good shape.
Bush, his fault or not, left us mucho worse off. Which is what Republicans usually do...including the IDOL of the Right, Reagan.
But it is far from hopeless. One big factor that drove us into inflation was the price of gasoline, and its effect on the price of everything that has to be hauled about from place to place.
Gorceries, and like that. People had to quit a lot of eating out...and bwown bag a lot.
Walmart and many grocery stores did did very well, and are still doing very well because people have to eat, and the restaurants loss was their gain.
I trade in and out of Winn Dixie a lot...a large grocery chain in the south. Perer Lynch runs the Company, and a lot of instituions own the stock long term, leaving a thinner trading float for the rest of us to try to out-guess each other with.
But the much lower cost of fuel is a boon that will make our economic life better.
We may not be able to spend thousands of Christmas dollars, but heck, we spend too much already. Baby can do with one or two toys, and Mama ain't really gotta have another high cost trinket.
Now if OBAMA and them can pull off a bank revival, and a lot of that kinda sheet... get us the hell outa IRAQ and such.. we can get about halfway back to where Bill left us in a couple years.
Maybe OBAMA will keep his pecker quiet, and not give the Right Wingers anything to go after him about.
They hate sex, you know, unless you are really sneaky about doing it.
