Spot The Odd(ly Confident) One Out
Despite the yeah-meh-bleh nature of consumer confidence measures, Gallup's more broadly surveyed, and seemingly consistent with the reality of the American workforce, index of economic confidence remains lackluster at best and dismal at worst. However, there is one bright shining beacon of light across the "United" States of America... one state stands proud as the lone state that is economically confident... that state is... drum roll please... D.C.
The confused reality of confidence measures...
Trilemma...
And the sad reality...
Can you spot the odd one out?

Long lobbyists / Short Middle class
Oh, I wish I was in West Virginia,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Look away,
Look away,
Look away,
Dixieland
Because One is the UNITED STATES (A Corporation) and the rest are the long suffering United States of America.
Easily proved too.

West Virginia? Wyoming? These are energy super states. These could very easily become some of the richest places on Earth in the next ten years...if not sooner if natural gas spikes to 10 bucks in say...the next two weeks. "And that energy is landlocked" as well.
"either you gotz...your don't gotz." And obviously they have truly massively supplies of coal...let alone alternative energy in the form of windpower. You wanna withdraw stimulus? They'll start massive production plans which will drive prices down to darn near zero and ship it all via railroads and barges "to the highest bidder." if they start forming State Banks ala North Dakota "look out." Wall Street could be shut out of the biggest capital bonanza in world history.
they could drive down electrical rates to pennies...and have all the heating fuel they'll ever need at the same time.
Google "Power Zip Codes" fishez! These Zip Codes are a combination of highly educated people who earn a lot of money. The number one cluster of these Power Zip Codes? Suburban DC...
You mean "Beltway Bandits" territory
Don't forget the government unions added to that mix; the succubus of America productivity.
Maybe West Virginians aren't so happy with their tainted water supply?
Solution? Let's shoot another giraffe. Bitches.

Overheard in a DC lobbyist's washroom. - "If you want to make money stick close to the cash register."
The District of UNITED STATES, CORP. INC CRIMINALS.
Washington, District of Corruption
And apparently the canine confidence levels in the Beltway are at all time highs
Washington, District of Cunts
Burn it to the ground. Happy August 24th!
I gotta run for office.
Wolves amongst sheep.
Living in a vacuum.
Wow, West Virginia is not even trying. Oh wait, West Virginia is the whipping boy of corporations, so that should be true.
West Virginia has Southern Exposure though... Or if one gets drunk, then lost.... Nikki's Cabaret in Ghent.
there is one bright shining beacon of light across the "United" States of America... one state stands proud as the lone state that is economically confident... that state is...
umm, pretty sure the District of Columbia is not a state.
Yup.
But it is in a perpetual state of crony corruption.
It isn't a state, it is The State.
The poll must have been taken around Dupont Circle and Georgetown rather than Anacostia.
It is more correct to state that all states have negative Economic Confidence and the District of Columbia is positive. DC is a swampy tumor in the MidAtlantic filled with leeches and 35 year adolescents that have learned that they will never be liked by others but can lord their influence over those that choose not to associate with vermin. It is not, however, a state.
All I ask for is one well place asteroid. Is that too much to ask for? Not to big, just large enough to take out a small city.
can't give you more than 1 greenie, so +100
We voted for it all. So, would one asteroid do the trick?
"We," Kemosabe?
Who is this we you speak of?
Kommiefornia and Mass. are pretty fuckin CON-fident.
Pimps are always bullish on pussy.
And in honor of it's resounding success as a beacon of light exuding economic confidence to the rest of the Union in it's contribution(s)
I propose we solicit the services of the Zambelli Family to provide in it's honor a 20 kiloton multi-colored "mushroom cloud" on the Capitol lawn... Food and beverages for the House and Senate members with staff as well as lobbyisits and Corporate executives to enjoy while they watch the spectacular one-of-a-kind display!
Something that I think all Patriotic American will come to enjoy once the festivites commence!
All roads lead to Trantor.
The arrogance. You haven't heard the discussions in the DC bars. They can't understand why the rest of the country is so pissed at them.
I remember flying in and out of DCA every month in 2008-2009. I counted no less than 30 cranes in the skyline then. You'd never know the country was 2 years into a depression at that point. Now a flight into DCA is bombastically expensive. Used to be $200-300. Now it's over $1000. Sickening.
No worries. Apparently you have been in D.C. within the las year.
Those heavy six figure salaries of the Contractors R' Us brigade are becoming a thing of the past with the downsizing of budgets and consolidation taking place right and left. In short the natives in those "bars" are getting restless.
Think the last delusional twitch they exhibited was when they shut the government down and everyone was in a party mood.
Not for long!
I see that Texas is 5th to best. Another interesting study would be Ron Paul's district versus others. If I recall correctly, the local powers that be attempted to run him out of politics by "redistricting" the state and squeezing him out, but his constituents were unwaveringly so loud that the bsd's could not swing it. Is that right? ...Anyway, with RP on the mind, what is the status of HIS constituents versus the rest of us who are not so fortunate???
Median Income District 14 of Texas is $41,335
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas%27s_14th_congressional_district
The median income per person in the USA is $46,326.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_income
He is in a POOR DISTRICT. What is your point??? Is your point that they are UNFORTUNATE???
Here is a map of Household Income by county...

Here is a map of District 14

Now you can overlay the maps and understand that the Median Income reported on the District 14 source is HOUSEHOLD INCOME which serves to CONFIRM the source data..
WHY DO YOU MAKE SUCH LIES???
If I can do this RESEARCH then so can you. But you did not and PROMOTED A LIE.
SO FUCK YOU LIAR. What a LYING TROLL.
That is the PROBLEM WITH THE GODLESS. THEY PROMOTE LIES.
Those who promote their imaginary friend are first lying to themselves, and secondly, they lie to others.
The OP asked questions, did not really make any statement, so where are these lies you scream about?
Sometimes people use questions as statements (tabloids like every day), but i think the OP's questions are sincere.
In any case, you should handle his questions first, show the lies, and only then, label him a "lying troll".
Please start over.
Government workers. Worthless parasites taking money from the insane homelesss.
Typical Government workers.
Let's replace government with some open Source code program..
I can do it with an excel statement.
=if(isconstitutional(yes,OK,not OK),not OK)
Hell yes! The gov't can extort money from the people (working people, that is) at gunpoint, just like the mob.
Bigger troughs!!!!
We need bigger troughs!!!
I think this calls for a little John Denver:
