Of course we are, the key is when they find you there’s a big grin on your face.
How many of those polled realize that Liberal policies, enviro-wacko restrictions and deadbeats not paying their bills are the main sources of our perceived economic woes?
Have we already had 2 quarters of negative "growth"? Will we be emerging before we even enter?
Alternately, charge like crazy, default on my mortgage and then wait for the Feds to give me assistance to pay up after the hyper-inflationary cycle? I know it's hard to choose, but like the article states, I have low confidence.
This survey means nothing substantive. It is a “sentiment” index...it is a measure of how much panic the MSM is able to manufacture in the population with their “sky is falling” propaganda.
I heard about an elementary school in which several children were hysterically crying when their teacher told them the polar bears were all going to die. I really wonder how all this climate change hysteria plays into surveys such as this.
I know we have serious problems but given the MSM dire predictions 24/7 I’m just amazed people aren’t throwing themselves off the top of tall buildings.
I’m a retired consumer and spend more on food for the dog than myself but have high confidence that there will be merchandise on the shelves of the supermarket when I go there next time.

The MSM pounds this down our throats constantly.

I got a sandwich at Togos last week and the price with chips and a drink was up from $6.50 a few months ago to over $8 today.
Even my mother noticed the skyrocketing inflation. She bought a box of pancake mix, Bisquick I think, and said the price was the same but the box is now smaller.
No, there is no inflation. BurnYankee needs to get that Skycrane moving again and slash the funds rate to 0.00000001%. We MIGHT go into a recession after all. Can’t have that. Much better to have 18% inflation. I hope all of you calling for low interest rates enjoy the rate on T-bills in a few years, because that is going to be about the only silver lining.
