For your information, blue collar workers, people without college educations, have never recovered from the end of manufacturing. They have gone steadily downhill since the 70's. For them, it most definitely has been gloom and doom as they have nothing like the standard of living their parents did. Look at the cities of the Northeast, none of whom recovered from the collapse of manufacturing.

Your kind of fat cat smirking made Bush I a one term president. It will do the same for Bush II unless he gets ahead of this issue

Yeah whatever, live in your doom and gloom(actually more like DU) world, with your use of the derogatory term "fatcat". Hey you are in the same camp as Tom Daschle, isn't America great, that you can just whine incessantly, while "fat cats" like me see the more positive aspects of life in America.

Go ahead, and live in perpetual negativty, that's your right.

All his trend lines are down

Whatever, put your faith in a Newsweek poll, that doesn't even include registered voters.

You are in the same camp as MSNBC and CNN.

Great company there dude.
