Geeze for being from the "tolerant progressive party" you sure are full of hate and bigotry towards anyone who doesn't think along your political lines. Economics are cyclical, regradless of which breed of ass hole is running the country. What washington (st) has done spending way beyond there means is wrong and DEM's did it, just like in Cali. So get the FUK over yourself, pull off your blinders, and try and think logically. Bush is gone, get the fuk over it, (btw he didn't follow any Republican principlies with regards to spending, alienating many is republicans) we have a new incompetent, albeit eloquent speaking, ass hole in the office now who's planning on making even bigger deficits, but atleast he'll raise my taxes and my bosses taxes which i'm sure will get me a raise.
