I have to say if you want to be secure when it comes to your finances get an education.Learn to spend withing your limits. Don't wait for Washington to solve your problems! That way it will not matter if there is a "Democratic" senate and or congress that sit in their behind and don't do what they were voted to do. All they do is help themselves. Look at Pelosi; going on a book tour instead of solving or working to solve any problems the country faces. Who needs them? I sure don't! And will not vote for them. Vote McCain 2008

And here's a few more statistics the Dems won't like.
According to census bureau statistics just released, median household income rose for the second straight year in 2007.... And has increased (not decreased, as Dems claim, since W took office)
Also, the oft maligned "gap between rich and poor" (classic liberal class warfare--Karl Marx himself would be proud) is a hoax. The percentage of people living at or below the poverty line is almost exactly the same now as it was when Clinton left. Which leads to one of two inescapable conclusions: Either Bubba was not as great at helping the poor as they would lead us to believe, or W is not the evil puppet of "Big Oil" or "Big whatever other evil companies exist" at the expense of regular middle class people that they would have us believe.

Dems have to convince everyone that the end of the world is coming if you vote Republican. I has been their M.O. for years and will continue to be. It does not matter if it is global warming or the economy. They use fear to motivate their uneducated voter base.

"Republicans like statistics."
And Dems like statistics when it supports their grim view of America. But when they don't, then suddenly statistics are not to be trusted.

An economist talking about economic growth statistics does not feed children, heat/cool a home, put gas in a car, make doctor visits possible or buy a college credit hour. Republicans like statistics. It's what they give you to explain why you're losing every battle to corporate interests and ought to be happy about it. Now, let's talk about gay marriage Don't you believe that it's destroying your family? Oh, SURELY you do!
