For Your Consideration

It's no wonder Congress, under new Democrat management, has managed to chalk up the lowest approval rating in history - just 9 percent.

Consider the following, courtesy of our friends over at Americans for Tax Reform.

When Democrats took office on January 4, 2007, the average cost of a gallon of gas was $2.30. As of July 1 of this year it was $4.05.

When the Democrats took over, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 12,481. As of July 1, it was down to 11,232.

When the Democrats took over, the cost of a loaf of bread was $1.15 and a gallon of milk $3.07. Today, the cost of a loaf of bread is $1.37 and a gallon of milk $3.76.

When Democrats took over, the inflation rate was 2.1 percent. Today it's 4.2 percent.

When Democrats took over, the unemployment rate was 4.6 percent. Today it's 5.5 percent...and growing.

Just imagine where we'd be two years after Obama becomes president.
