jg, i’m curious about who you think (Republicans or Democrats) are to blame for the economy going “in the toilet” as you put it? I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and won’t put you on spot about Iraq ’til next year.
Republicans controlled the presidency and Congress up until recently. If their economic management skills are so good then why are we facing the prospects of the recession that you’re predicting? And why are they not preparing us to face that reality?
