American Gloom

from ThinkProgress:

Eight in 10 Americans say country is headed in the ‘wrong direction.’»

A new AP-Ipsos poll finds that nearly eight in 10 Americans believe “the country is moving in the wrong direction…amid soaring food and gas prices, falling home values and unending war. Just 17 percent say the country is going in the right direction.” This figure is the lowest since the survey began in 2003, and when compared with other past surveys, “the general level of pessimism is the worst in almost 30 years.”

1. This might have something to do with it.

The DJIA just fell below 12,000 and everyone is losing their houses and jobs. Sounds familiar to me.
