27. You must be totally in a fantasy world
The world has changed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some facts you must consider...


This nation has twice as much debt as it did under Bill Clinton
The price of a barrel of crude oil has almost quadrupled.
There are tens of thousands more terrorists in the world willing to die for a chance to kill us
There are far fewer allied nations willing to work with us
There is a world monetary crisis, where our dollar is worth 1/3 of what it was in 1999
We STILL have not changed our consumption of fossil fuels, and use MORE than we did in 1999
We have lifted the tax burden on the rich, and they love all their new-found wealth with which to fight the "liberals" like Hillary and Obama. (Edwards is a laughing stock to 2/3 of America, he hasn't got a chance!)

There are 2-5 million MORE illegal aliens in the USA than in 1999, and people are starting to notice them.

There are 2 million LESS good-paying jobs in the USA than in 1999, and lots of people are noticing THAT!
Banks have decided only the rich can borrow money, only the well paid can get high cost loans, and only large corporations can get business loans, in contrast to 1999, when a good credit risk was a sound solid business person with a good plan and proper credentials for starting a small business. Nowadays, banks are dreading their role as foreclosure agents for homes bought on bad risk credit.

The days of Bill and Hill are no longer.. dream on!
