Because Republicans drove the economy into a ditch.

Oddly enough, the economy was doing pretty well when the Republicans
controlled both houses of Congress. Then the Dems took over in the 2006
elections and the economy went in the toilet soon after.

Which party was it, again, that "drove the economy into a ditch"?

The Republicans.

How many times do you all need to be told that the Dems only held a *simple*
majority in Congress for the last two years of Bush's second term. They were
blocked from passing anything remotely resembling Democratic partisan
legislation by Republican filibusters and Presidential vetoes.

The war(s) were a Bush phenomenon, which nearly all Republicans, a number of
Democrats, and the public in general, were duped into backing because the
intelligence community and executive branch lied about Saddam possessing WMD
and posing a risk to stability in the Middle East. (Ironically, the United
States subsequently destabilized the region.)

The Republicans were also responsible for deregulation of the financial
industry because it fit their "trickle-down" (paradoxically, trickle-up)
theory of free market capitalism, which is a major source of our current
worldwide economic recession/depression.

The Democrats were guilty of spinelessness in the face of a fascist regime
that benefited corporate greed to the detriment of the majority of the
nation's citizens.

The Dems may have made mistakes, but the Republicans ****ed up royally.

Do some reading. Learn something for a change.
