Yeah The country was on the road to riches before President Bush thought he had an infinate credit card, and spent us billions into the red on his cameleon war.
The war on bin laden and terror, which morphed into the war for oil against saddam.
Royally fucking the country, and sending us almost back into a giant depression.
Not to mention doing nothing while Big oil recreates the last MAN MADE gas crunch.
So they sent everyone a check for 600$ to stimulate the economy.
The problem with this is, nothing worth a shit is made in america.
90% of everything we own is made in china, or some other country.
