Our economic ruin began a long time ago…but with libs being overwhelming immune to the real world they’ve just now noticed what many of us saw coming long ago…after decades of malfeasance.
Beginning with Carter gutting the CIA while simultaneously trading the Shah in for a radical Islamist….I can recall vividly Biden’s comments, ‘Iran would become the model for Muslim regimes around the world.’ We’re now living the consequences of Carter and Clinton’s intelligence gutting, adding unnecessary communication walls between our intelligence agencies while reactively treating terrorism as a crime…real ruin is the results of 9/11.
It goes unnoticed to libs that immediately after the 9/11, Democrats dropped their ‘not so loyal opposition’ holding up key National Security appointments, rushing into special session setting a single day congressional record of passing dozens of security appointments, unanimously….it’s called CYA’ing. Democrats were rightfully petrified Americans would be outraged at their core policy failures. President Bush could have listed these Democrat caused failures, perhaps should have, but in the interest of a ‘United America’ refused to do so.
The other half of our current economic ruin is the combination of our dependence upon foreign energy providers and our nations financial dependence upon Democrats to try to manage Freddie and Fannie….these are core Democrat policies of ruin began in the anti Vietnam War era….
Immediately after the fall of Baghdad the DNC set in motion an Ant War theme to undermine this President….like many Americans there is much disappointment in our President’s leadership….but it’s nowhere near the disappointment and disgust caused by these ruinous core Democrat policy failures.

just one point...no matter how much we drill, we will always use more than we produce, since we only have 3 percent of the worlds reserves and use 25 percent....until that ratio changes, we will always be dependent upon foreign oil sources.. "
