I remember the layoffs.. when we bought our first house the interest rates were out of this world.. Hard times come and hard times go.. but I have never seen anyone purposefully run our economy into the ditch as quickly as this one has..Reagan took us from being the largest creditor nation in the world.. (people owing us money) to the largest debtor nation in the world in 8 short years.. Conservatives are so bad with money.. they always put stuff on the credit card.. so to speak.. Democrats will tax you for their programs.. but they make sure they are paid for unless it is and emergency..
