Just in case you've forgotten...

Just in case you've forgotten what it was like when the Republicans were in power, here's a reminder.

The poverty rate in the United States rose each year of President George W Bush's administration; in 2006, 12.7 percent of Americans were living in poverty. Between 2001 and 2004, poverty among African Americans rose from 22.7 to 24.7 percent. Child poverty rose from 16.3 percent in 2001 to 17.8 percent in 2004. Between 1999 and 2004, median household income dropped 5.9 percent.
