why is every thing going up during bushs term? (gas. oil. school, credit rates)?

Question

how can you support a president who continues to cater to corporations. all these items were cheaper under clinton.

to the neo cons the republicans control house, senate, and president.

Answer 1

everything has gone up during bush's terms because he is a republican. republicans get tax breaks for the rich. when the federal reserve can't tax the rich guess who they have to tax instead?

Answer 2

Bush has nothing to do with the gas and oil prices going up. If you were even remotely proficient in international economics, you would know this. As for school and credit rates, neither of these are set by the Office of the President either. Tuition rates are set up by individual institutions or state/local governments and interest rates by the federal reserve, none of which are not commanded or controlled by the president.

Nice try putting the blame for all of America's woes on the current Pres, but better luck next time.

Answer 3

Because we're at war. Because we are still rebounding from the financial broadsides that we suffered on 9-11, and hurricanes Katrina and Rita. There's also the increasing use of petro by huge nations like India and China.

Did you sleep during economics 101, or have you been Rip Van Winkling it the last five years altogether?

You must have because you didn't notice that the unemployment rate is still lower than it was during Clinton's administration. You missed the steady growth of the economy despite all of the setbacks, tragedies and misteps of the government. You haven't noticed that the tax rolls increase with every tax cut. You missed the fact that the unfortunate but necessary deficit the president had to amass to combat these problems has already begun to recede. In fact you have missed so much since you fell asleep at the end of lover boy Bill's 'glory days'.

Rise and shine!

Have yourself a cup of coffee. It works wonders clearing the crap from the plumbing.

Answer 4

The president (any president) is not in control of the things you mention.

The price of gas is determined by those in the oil futures market, our lack of domestic oil drilling, our unwilingness to build refineries, and our stupid system of different gas blends for each state.

The cost of schooling is primarily rising due to unions and bad local governmental decisions.

By credit rates, I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean the prime interest rate, that rate is set by the Federal Reserve, not the president. The reason the Federal Reserve keeps raising interest rates is because the economy is doing so well and they're trying to slow it down to avoid inflation.

And I'll remind you that President Bush instituted the large social welfare program in the history of our country, the prescription drug program. So I wouldn't say he's catering to corporations.

And, one last thing, you shouldn't so easily bash corporations. It's the jobs they supply and the taxes they pay that allow this country to exist.

Answer 5

First answerer, How the F can you blame Clinton. When he left things were running smoothly. In answer to the question it is supply side economic's coupled with a war time economy. Inflation always happens under a repuglican president and their deficit spending. As far as oil and gas that is because the president is buddys with the big oil company's and they can write their own ticket and have. With the price of oil come the cost of transporting things to market and the cost of manufacture which is passed on to you and me.

Answer 6

1. Deficit spending. Republicans claim to be conservative but they don't seem to mind running up huge debts. Go figure.

2. Tax cuts for the already wealthy. True, some money may "trickle down", but it doesn't happen nearly fast enough to keep up with inflation, which puts a crimp in the budgets of the middle and lower income levels.

3. The economy is heating up, so the fed's increase the interest rates. Unfortunately, like I said in 2, it's going too fast for the middle and lower income groups to be able to catch up.

In other words, the money is not flowing through the economy as freely as it should.

Answer 7

Because good ole President Hillary Clinton...I mean Bill lifted the laws that said you had to keep things like that under control..Now the Bush administration cant get them put back and everybody wants to claim its Pres Bush's fault because of the family oil...wich is BS cause everybody knows he's just cleaning up Hillary's mess..I mean Bill

Answer 8

because that 70% of the fee is uncooked fabric, your question would not delay less than honest exam. it isn't some thing extra that parroting the Democrat celebration line. No, we did not merely run out of oil. although, the chinese monetary equipment has doubled in the astounding 7 years and India is close in the back of. Petroleum use has risen 10 circumstances speedier in Asia than interior of america. perchance that has some impression on the cost, which experts were caution is going to develop notably in cost for the astounding 30 years. it isn't you it quite is being attacked. it really is the absurd nature of your baseless allegations.

Answer 9

i'll tell you why....... gas and oil are the two major investments of the bush family, and i guess his father didn't take enough of our money during his term so the little bush is getting all he can from us and getting away with it because everyone let's him.

Answer 10

It's Clinton's fault!!
