Oh wait, I forgot that not only did I get a big raise and a new condo under Bush, but also I got a big tax cut. Bush should be burned at the stake!

I didn't know prosthetics were a signficant portion of federal expenditures. Though with all the wounded in Iraq and all...

This is irrelevant. The unemployment rate actually went up.
