“The economy is in deep trouble” and President Bush bears the blame for having relied to much on the free market to mend itself without government action, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said in an interview with PoliticsTV. Reid, D-Nev., also scolded Bush for taking action to help “Wall Street” but not Americans on “Main Street” hurt by the current economy.

President Bush revived his message of Christmases past in his radio address this week by recognizing the sacrifices made by U.S. troops serving abroad and away from their families during the holidays.
“The husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters of those in the military serve our country as well,” Bush said. “For many of them, service means packing up their belongings and moving on short notice, or living in a different country for a time, or missing a family member as he or she serves overseas. And this Christmas, many will sit down for dinner thinking of their loved ones half a world away.”
Democrats, meanwhile, focused on their accomplishments after one year in the majority of Congress. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada boasted that “Democrats have put working families first, given our troops the care and support they deserve, and made our country safer.”
He also didn’t exactly evoke a holiday spirit of peace and good will toward Bush and Republicans in Congress. Reid blamed them for standing in the way of the Democratic agenda.
“We tried to give health care to 10 million poor children, but Republicans sided with tobacco companies,” he said. “We tried to promote cleaner energy sources … but Republicans sided with the big oil companies. We chose to invest in priorities here at home, but Republicans chose to send billions more of your taxpayer dollars to Iraq.”
