While there is evidence that people feel more optimistic about the economy,
65 percent said it's difficult for them and their families to get ahead. More than one-third know of a family member who recently lost a job.
_More than 90 percent of Americans consider the economy an important issue, the highest ever in AP polling.
_Nearly 80 percent believe that the rising federal debt will hurt future generations, and Obama is getting mixed reviews at best for his handling of the issue
Yet the country's headed in the right direction??? Bizarro world indeed!
Exactly.
And it used to be the opposite with Bush.
Repondents would say their personal life was okay, but they were concerned about the unknown neighbor (the sad sack story they watched on network TV). And vote “wrong direction.”
Now they are having difficult times, but because the media builds up this turd, they say “right direction.”
This is, plain and simple, the effects of propaganda.
