Just reported on CNBC
More people trust the Republican congress with the economy than trust Obama and the Democrats. Full blown fascism is about to emerge. How sad.

1. It's like the poor people in the WTC on 9/11
When you're burning to death, leaping to death looks less awful.

That's what we got here.

2. Likely based on a false assumption that republicans can tell corporations what to do.
Fools, it's the other way around: Corporations tell your represents what to vote for.

3. having near full control of the media can really sell a story
no doubt few people remember just how we got into the so-called 'debt crisis'.
And no doubt they blame SS, Medicare and Medicaid for the situation and not tax cuts for the rich.

9. cnBS is a constant barrage of rightwing commentary.
Edited on Tue Jun-07-11 08:37 AM by Shagbark Hickory
If you like your business news without all that bs, turn on Bloomberg.

7. Well they can no longer use the 'who keeps America safe' crap meme
If Americans really trust the ReTHUGS more than the Democrats they deserve what's coming.

11. Well the Dems seem to be out of ideas.
And frankly if you want to be hired by a corporation which party is interested in corporations getting larger and larger? It's a catch 22 for Dems who are hostile to corps. All the fairness issues regarding corporations are probably less likely to stimulate hiring.

The problem with our economy is that small business is no longer seen as the job creator it once was. So the public is perceiving that a job depends on the health and profitability of big corporations.

15. Wonder how many of those "most people," polled are driving imported cars
And can't figure out where all the jobs are now?

Americans generally speaking are not very smart.
