Re: I heard a guy on TV say yesterday that Bush's spending caused the dollar

So many causes Deks, so little to recover with.

Maybe we can all sing Trini Lopez' song and hammer in the morning and hammer in the evening, all over this land and rebuild some of the crumbling poop.

Re: I've been poor and I've had money now I'm poor again
Poverty does have many definitions, huh, Kabu?? You are rich, you read rich and look rich and sound rich, so you must BE rich, no?

I heard a guy on TV say yesterday that Bush's spending caused the dollar
to go down so far that this is what ultimately caused the mortgage meltdown -- because mortgages were bundled and sold abroad so much that the low value of the dollar finally pulled down that house of cards.... Interesting.... I think this guy was a Republican, too.

Sure, the speculators ran up the price of oil, but, notice how the price of
gas comes down once our "oil man" president's days in office are numbered?
