thank the democrat controlled house of representatives... notice when you look at the bls data that it started going up once they took control, then interestingly, it started going down when they lost control in the 2010 elections... hmm, conincidence?

careful what you put in your private emails... the dems want to read them

The economy went right in the crapper - worst collapse since the Great Depression.

It all started with the Democrats and some Republicans destroying the housing market.

Harry Reid and others ignored all common sense and tried to get as many people as possible to own a home, even if they couldn't afford it. Then, the same scumbag politicians blamed the banks when people couldn't make the mortgage payments. They did all this just so they could have the talking point "More people own homes now than ever before. Look how good the economy is right now!"
