>>Regards,
The unfunded war...all borrowed money
paying the huge cost, the profligate
spending of the Republican administration
have devalued the dollar.
The deregulated banking industry got up
the their old tricks, the very tricks that
caused the regulations in the first place.
The flood of dollars caused by the Republican
borrowing made the dollar cheap and
oil expensive....add it all up and you have
a mess that will cause most Americans
severe financial pain.
McCain's plans will not make things better
for most Americans...the rich will do well
if any of his economic plan is adopted.
jr throws you a $300 or $600 crumb that
wont do **** while the richer get richer at
your expense
