Why is the American economy going through such a rough time at the moment?

Question

Specific legit reasons please.

Answer 1

Because of blue jays singing in the morninnnn'.

Answer 2

It is only rough in comparison to the last couple decades of incredible prosperity and growth. The media can't sell stories about how we are so very fortunate, so at the slightest slowdown of the speeding train, they call it a wreck. The standard of living has dramatically increased almost universally throughout the world. Want some cool stats? Check out this write-up link.

Answer 3

The Democratic Congress is actively blocking any legislation that President Bush is trying to do to correct the problem. They are planning to raise taxes and pass unneeded business regulation that encourages our companies to relocate. What Congess needs to pass is laws that remove labor unions, expands free trade, and lowers taxes for our businesses. That will stimulate businesses to stay and increase production.

Answer 4

Cause we have an idiot president that has ran our country into the ground.  Any other president would have stepped in by now....but no he can care less about Americans ....why he has stock in the oil companies....him and his dad always did....

We need the idiot out of office....but then again with him in office everyone is a rocket scientist....lol

Answer 5

It always takes a dip after an 8 year term president leaves office.  I remember when this country was looking at a possible depression just as Clinton was leaving office and before him Reagan.  It happens every time we get a those two term presidents.
