I have been working on him and his brother but no luck yet. Tonight he sends me this.
George Bush has been in office for 7½ years. The first six the economy was
fine. A little over one year ago:
Consumer confidence stood at a 2½ year high.
Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon.
The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
The DOW JONES hit a record high around 14,000 (week of Oct. 8, 2007)
Americans were buying new cars, taking cruises, overseas vacations, living
large!... But Americans wanted 'CHANGE'! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic
Congress and yep, we got 'CHANGE' all right!
Consumer confidence has plummeted;
Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS, with prices still dropping;
1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
As I write, THE DOW is probing another low near 11,000 (week of Jul. 14, 2008).
$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS
INVESTMENTS! IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE ... AND WE SURE AS HELL GOT IT!!!
NOW 'BO', THE DEM'S CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT, AND THE POLLS SAY HE'S GONNA BE
'THE MAN', CLAIMS HE'S GONNA REALLY GIVE US CHANGE!! JUST HOW MUCH MORE
'CHANGE' DO YA THINK YOU CAN STAND??
PM
He kinda gets the issue but what can I do to push him over the top to see how this misfortune was achieved?

Tell him the truth...that
Tell him the truth...that George W. didn't all alone create this financial crises...it has been building. Tell him that Clinton and Greenspan accelerated it and Bush inherited it. Then Bush made it worse by expanding the Department of Ed and other programs and that the war in Iraq was not affordable by us because of the the building crises over 30 years.
If he doesn't understand the monetary system...show him Money As Debt:

As a cartoon it is easily acceptable by many without being as 'pushy'. The video really hits home.

step back and see the forest
They WANT US to focus on Dem vs. Rep.
Step back and look at the forest, instead of the trees. Now I see ... a forest of economic problems, excessive debt, overextended credit, false company "earnings" reports.
It's not D vs. R, it is THEM vs. US.
The Federal Reserve is the facility that allows unchecked deficit spending. Get your friends to agree on this, then point out the only person who consistently speaks of the problems caused by the Federal Reserve - Ron Paul.
I suggest we back up a few paces, drop the D and R labels, and look at the larger picture.
try
sending him this collection of videos...

(the truth shall set you free)
Let him know that...
Unfortunately, America has been living the high life, and now it is time to pay the piper. We have people out there that should not been able to buy homes because they did not qualify, we had greedy lending, and mortgage institutions making that happen for them. But now we have the rest of the American tax payers paying for those foreclosures that these homeowners, and banks did that were wrong from the start. We have illegals buying homes in America, and then running back to Mexico, or some other 3rd world country when they can't make the payments. We have a Federal Reserve, and Congress that won't make the right decisions and will not introduce a sound monetary policy. We have a President who is the laughing stock of the entire world, and has no clue what needs to be done to fix this mess. Obama, and McCain are out pandering to the Lobbyists, and Social program dependent citizens, but have not really given any true solutions on what needs to be done. Basically, we are screwed, unless we get a Conservative, Liberty minded individual/s in office to make the necessary cuts/changes, and those changes are not the changes Obama is touting.
I'm at the point
I may suggest hitting him with a soapy wet sponge to wake up. Sorry, I'm to tired but I'm good for a bump. Maybe, someone here is awake and can help you. Peace
