So when George Bush was appointing some supreme court judges the saying going around that elections have consequences (and Bush had just won re-election in a pretty demanding way) and that the democratic congress members should accept that.

Well elections have consequences...

Democrats won the congress and senate in 06, what has happened?

* Price of oil has doubled.
* Job growth has been cut in half.
* Past two months have had 80,000 job losses.
* Average family grocery bill has gone up $70
* Stock market has lost 10% of its value.
* Home prices have falling 8%
* Inflation has had its largest one year increase since the early 90's

But don't take my word for it, see the video linked at the bottom of this post.

Now, let me be fair; I don't think all of this is the fault of the democrats.  However I do think that some of it is.

The democrats ran on a ticket to raise taxes by an average of $2000 and their latest budget is much worse then that ($3000/year) over five years. This has a very bad affect on corporations because it affects their bottom line.  Many business are classified as 'small business' and the owner's tax rate directly impacts their employee's.  But it also scares business's into being afraid to invest money because it may not be there if their tax rate increases.  This directly effects four of the items above; job growth, job losses, stock market, and inflation.

Elections have consequences, unfortunately this affects me greatly; I have already lost money due to this congress. Government programs (universal health care, etc...) are not free, and we are already starting to pay for just the idea of them!
