No, I'm afraid I couldn't.
Work was plentiful during the ONLY 8yr. Democratic tenure of my life.
Life was hard (IE: I worked hard), but it was good.....
By '06', the lack of jobs, which was growing during Bush's 8yrs., was becoming obvious.
At that point i said it was going to get a lot worse before it's going to get better.
I did survive 12yrs of Reagan/Bush I. It was bad then too.
I predicted a rise in crime, corporate greed, layoffs, problems with wallstreet, etc.
20 out of the last 30 years under republican rule have taken a HEAVY toll on our country.
It could be debated that we are still under republican rule, as many of Bush's policies are still in effect.
So, yes I do feel that republicanism has put has where we are.
It would take at least 20 out of the next 30 years under democratic rule, for us to have any hope of our country again becoming a world leader in the many things we lost under republicans.
