Marvelously consistent of you to offer two non-choices, neither of which is a correct statement.

The American people have worked hard, fought in two world wars, lived the most extraordinary experiment in constitutional democracy the world has seen only to watch the gaines of the last 70 years be siphoned away by multi-national corporations.

The Bush war primed economic machine has operated in a net loss of jobs, even with the manipulation of interest rates, the removal of manpower to the military effort, the fact is that the working man is working more hours, taking less time to himself and family than the working man of any other industrialized nation. The American worker is treading water in this economy. Fully a quarter of working Americans are taking no vacations because 1. they are afraid of losing their jobs, and 2. they can't afford too.

Working families require two paychecks to keep going and you think the present administration is a success story? Wow, I would hate to see a failure!
