The Republican Party has been in control of the government since 1994, and now our standard of living has fallen below that of the United Kingdom, where the liberals have been in charge for 11 years:

For the first time in more than 100 years, British living standards have risen above those of Americans, a report has declared.

Increasing incomes, longer holidays and “free” healthcare have all contributed to making Britons better off than our friends across the Atlantic, according to the respected Oxford Economics consultancy.

The feel-rich factor is calculated using the gross domestic product (GDP) per citizen - an indicator of average incomes - which in Britain will be £23,500 this year, compared with £23,250 in America, it predicts.

Even today, the Democrats took nominal control of Congress in 2006 but Republican have used their veto-proof majorities to remain in control.

Bottom line: the conservative movement is a sham and has been a disaster for America.
