I'll be first: Bushs' fault.
We are still lacking their Doom and Gloom, despite our esteemed news media and academia trying their best to instill it in our psyche.
Boo hoo, what will they do next to undermine our country?
what ! you mean the democrates have been spitting into the wind all this time?
50 years of doom and gloom the sky is falling predictions and they STILL haven't managed to bring down the American spirit....

''We found this relative lack of concern surprising, given the overwhelming scientific consensus that global warming is occurring now, and that if unchecked, could be disastrous,'' said Dr. Cheryl Kennedy, a psychiatrist with the school.

1. Global Warming is going to flood the world; cause massive droughts; and increase dramatically the number of tornados, hurricanes and tsunamis;
2. There are no new jobs and everyone that has one works at Wal-Mart of McDonalds.
3. Our health care system is worst then Cuba, no one has access to it.
4. We are on the verge of another great depression.
5. Housing prices are headed towards a free fall.
6. The only thing people can rely upon are government programs like Social Security.
Why don't people get it. These stories are reported on a daily basis. What is wrong with you people?
A lot of us are descended from people who were optimistic enough about their future in this country to have boarded cramped, leaky, disease and lice infested ships to get here. The pessimists all stayed back in Europe. The results of this conscious self selection process are fairly obvious.
