Summarized version of the 2nd depression in America

I realize that all my posts are explanations of whats happened recently, but for a reader that doesn't know exactly whats happened to warrant these posts, and for future posterity lemme give the world a quick summation of whats happened in America in the last few decades:

At the end of the 1990's it was economic boom times. Clinton was just finishing an 8 year term of issuing tax credits for business owners in America that hired Americans. Unemployment was at its lowest rate in decades and the economy was growing at a rapid pace. This was a time when a young American could say to themselves "what do I want to do with the rest of my life" and actually go out and get a job working in that profession. During this time we didn't hear much about what was going on in the world and other nations, we didn't have anything to really be afraid of. We also had a surplus of the national budget and were quickly erasing the national debt. How this happened really is a miracle. Bill Clinton created this life-style from ashes. Let me tell you how it was the 8 years prior to Bill:

I was about 20 when the Clinton years started so my experience with the Regan / Bush years that preceded Bill Clinton was only as a youngster on the playground in grade school. Here's what I got to hear every day during those years:

First we were on the brink of nuclear annihilation with Russia so we were shown videos of how to put your head between your knees and get under the desk. (Like this would afford any protection from a nuclear blast). So all Americans lived in a constant state of terror, kinda like how some Americans are choosing to live right now!! (Just because little Bush is pushing his dads agenda, the rich think they have more power if they rule with fear). Now keep in mind what kid knows about any of this? Answer is: only kids with desperate parents are going to hear those conversations at home. It was from this environment (similar to now) that Bill Clinton was able to remove all the madness. Our economy and stature in the world (which consequently does better when we don't label parts of the world as enemies) was stabilized. This stability was the spring board for economic prosperity. Unfortunately, coming from a "less affluent" family life, I spent much of the Clinton years getting my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science.

2001:

I graduated in 2005 and little Bush stole the election in 2001. Al Gore (the one that is heavily into saving the planet, Movie: Inconvenient Truth) was up for election. He was supposed to be the next president after Clinton and would have gotten America off of oil, but Jeb Bush, brother of little Bush Jr., had a problem counting votes in the state of Florida due to small pieces of paper on the voting ballots called chads. This has never happened in an election so far as I can research. It amazed me that this would happen in this day and age of computers. There's no way this could happen unless it was intentional. George Bush has built a career on ambiguity. Either he was too inept to protect the country during 9/11 or he was part of setting the stage for the attack. Either way he didn't do his job. I believe this to be the same strategy used in the 2000 election. Either Jeb Bush was too inept to make sure votes were tallied correctly or he set the stage for the corruption. Of course Bush wont come out and defend himself to these allegations because that's how Republicans operate; just like Nixon who wouldn't take responsibility for Watergate, but wouldn't release the tapes either. Republicans never try to explain their screw ups, instead they play the "lets not point fingers" game. Now if I went to work and screwed up and said "lets not point fingers", Id be fired and probably never get a job in that field again, and that's how it should be. Republicans are masters of screwing things up and they are equally masterful at not taking responsibility.


So now that Bush is in office from a stolen election, suddenly right after the election, Al-Qeda hits the twin towers. Now there is no reason at all why Al-Qeda would wait till now to do this. If they hated us so bad they could have hit us the same way they did on 9/11, at any time before Bushs' election. He needed this to happen to get elected for another term. The puppet masters that control Bush knew this. There would be no way possible for him (them) to get elected in 2004 and they knew it. And of course there is no explanation from Bush either way as to how this happened. Like usual when Republicans are in office we see behavior we question and get no explanation on how it happens. Bush has a responsibility to tell the nation how this happened and what will be done to fight it in the future. Anything less is like pleading the 5th and means like in court of law, that your guilty. So of course Bush puts the fear of terrorists in all Americans just so he could get elected. When looked at in this perspective, one sees that there is no possible way Bush didn't know about the attacks ahead of time. Besides, when else do we ever get to see a class full of 3rd graders teach Bush?

2004:

So, early in 2001 Bushs' 8 year term was already solidified. In the ensuing 8 years he proceeded to give American business owners tax credits to send Americans jobs to other countries. So here we are in 2008 in the 2nd great depression. 122 million jobs lost in that 8 years. Unprecedented low numbers in growth, and job creation. Unprecedented high numbers in the national deficit and national budget. And the saddest part of the tale, Bush Jr. never went after Osama Bin Laden, the supposed leader of Al-Qeda, the terror organization that was responsible for the twin towers destruction on 9/11, even though he said plainly after the attacks that he would.
