I'd like to know why, now that the election and related election rhetoric should be over with, the only comment that "Beverly Richardson of NY" has is that this sharp, global economic downturn has been solely caused by the president?
Every economy in the world either is facing a downturn or soon will. Is the political leadership of each country facing this slowdown to blame, then, or is the entire world recession also Bush's fault?
I think I know the rather convenient, simple answer that she would like to give to this question.

Well this was 8 years of Bush I hope America is happy now; we knew he had failed at everything he ever did, but now we have to pay the price while he goes off to his home in Texas without a care.

How many times must it be said, “THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH”...? Employers cannot pay for their employees’ health insurance. Employees pay in the form of reduced wages or salaries. Only when we stop kidding ourselves will we solve our health care crisis. The same applies to the old myth that employers pay retirement pensions and half of their employees’ social security tax.
