DO YOU REALLY REMEMBER JANUARY 3, 2007? This is NOT a political message, but rather
a clarification to remind us all of the correct facts.
Remember that on October 9, 2007, 11 months before our “economic crisis” occurred
(that was actually created), the Dow hit its highest point ever,
closing at 14,164.53 and reaching 14,198.10 intra-day level 2 days later.
Unemployment was steady at 4.7%. But things were already being put in place to
create the havoc we’ve all been experiencing since then. And it all
started, as this email explains, on January 3, 2007. --LFL
I'm sending this to each of you
regardless of your party
preferences because I believe it
is something you may not have
considered.
This tells the story, why Bush
was so “bad” at the end of his term.
Don 't just skim over this, it's
not very long, read it slowly
and let it sink in. If in
doubt, check it out!!!
The day the Democrats took over
was not January 22nd 2009, it
was actually January 3rd 2007,
which was the day the Democrats took over
the House of Representatives and
the Senate, at the very start of
the110th Congress.
The Democrat Party controlled a
majority in both chambers for
the first time since the end of
the 103rd Congress in 1995.
For those who are listening to
the liberals propagating the fallacy that
everything is "Bush 's Fault",
think about this: January 3rd,
2007 was the day the Democrats
took over the Senate and the
Congress.
At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at
12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter
was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush 's Economic policies
SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day...
January 3rd, 2007 was the day
that Barney Frank took over the
House Financial Services
Committee and Chris Dodd took
over the Senate Banking
Committee. The economic meltdown
that happened 15 months later
was in what part of the economy?
BANKING AND FINANCIAL
SERVICES!
Unemployment... to this CRISIS
by (among MANY other things)
dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of
toxic loans on the economy from
YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
FIASCOES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting
in 2001 because it was
financially risky for the US
economy.
And who took the THIRD highest
pay-off from Fannie Mae AND
Freddie Mac? OBAMA And who
fought against reform of Fannie
and Freddie? OBAMA and the Democrat Congress.
So when someone tries to blame
Bush. REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007....
THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Budgets do not come from the
White House. They come from Congress and the party
that controlled Congress since
January 2007 is the Democrat
Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats
controlled the budget process
for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010
& 2011.
In that first year, they had to
contend with George Bush, which
caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat
belatedly got tough on spending
increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi &
Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely,
passing continuing resolutions
to keep government running until
Barack Obama could take office.
At that time, they passed a
massive omnibus spending bill to
complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama
during this time? He was a
member of that very Congress
that passed all of these massive
spending bills, and he signed
the omnibus bill as President to
complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any
deficit, it was the 2007
deficit, the last of the
Republican budgets. That deficit
was the lowest in five years,
and the fourth straight decline
in deficit spending.
After that, Democrats in
Congress took control of
spending, and that includes
Barack Obama, who voted for the
budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he
inherited it from himself. In a
nutshell, what Obama is saying
is I inherited a deficit that I
voted for and then I voted to
expand that deficit four-fold
since January 20th.
There is no way this will be
widely publicized,
unless each of us sends it on!
PLEASE DO YOUR PART !!

It goes back further than that. It goes back to when loan requirements
were reduced by the feds so people could buy houses with no money
down and no proof of income.
