Chart Of The Day - Americans Are Not Happy
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
Readers of this site don’t need me to tell you, but the following statistics from the Wall Street Journal prove that despite record stock prices and non-stop propaganda, fewer and fewer people are believing the hype.
We learn that:
On a benchmark measure of Americans’ unease, 65% of those surveyed said the country is on the wrong track. That is the highest level of unease since November 2014, and nears the levels seen at other historical moments of voter discontent.
In May 1992, after H. Ross Perot had launched his populist independent run for president, 71% said the country was on the wrong track. In September 2007, when frustration with President George W. Bush was peaking, wrong-track sentiment was 63%.
The new poll also found increased pessimism about the economy: 24% said they thought the economy would get worse over the next year, up from 17% in December.
Now, here’s that chart:
What’s so interesting about the above, other than the elevated levels of dissatisfaction six years into an “economic recovery,” is to look at when in recent history Americans were starting to think things were on the right track. Specifically, Americans became encouraged around 2009.
Barack Obama said all the right things, and a lot of people believed him. He had a chance to do the right thing, and people wanted him to do just that. Instead, he proved to be nothing but a shameless oligarch coddler, who essentially continued George W. Bush’s presidency without a hitch. Once that became clear, perceptions about a “wrong track” America starting surging again.
So yeah, Americans are NOT happy, and they have every right to be pissed off.

"....Americans became encouraged around 2009." "Whew, the worst is behind us and this Magic Negro will show us the way."
What a surprise!
You would think people enjoy being lied to daily by whore politicians and presstitutes...
Oh well, as long as we keep paying tax to support fraudulent debt and God's favorite bankster apartheid terror regime in Occupied Palestine everything should work out just fine.
Remember, it was Muslims that did 9/11 because they hate our freedom. Don't look into any of the Mossad goons caught with truck bombs that day, everything in this video is just anti-semitic twoofer nonsense... Even the fbi documents.

To think, none of them were listening to any of us five years ago.
Fuck'em. I'm just waiting for the primitives to start rioting at this point.
Are we working out now too?

WTF!
Whoa, imagine what woulda happened if it had been a female!
If that chart was part of a rorschach test, some might be inclined to describe it as a "double secret love tunnel".
... juz saying ... it do look like one ...
If I believed Americans were aware of what the real situation is I'd be more impressed with the survey
IF someone's pissin' on your back and tellin you it's raining, and if you have 1/10 of brain, after awhile you figure it out... as for the majority of the lemmings, not so much...
Burppppp
I have never seen a time in my life, when so many Americans hate and despise the government.
It's a start.
Hate, despise, loathe, distrust, ignore, lampoon, badmouth; shoot, we're forgetting some....
A while ago I went to the local slaughter house where we get our beef. As a treat for the dogs, I usually buy them some nice bones for 10 cents a pound. Some of them are so good I'm tempted to eat them myself.
I asked the owner for 6 bones and he told me some department of bullshit came over and made them stop selling bones. He was just shaking his head all fucking pissed off. His face was beet red. This is in a pretty rural area, so gov pretty much fucks with everybody.
So tell him that he should give you the bones, and you can make a donation to their business at a later time.
It's not hard to get around .gov goons, you just have to make friends and learn to help each other.
Kommandant Michelle says there are too many calories in the one pound bag - makes your dog fat. Can only buy the 3 oz. anorexia size now. Price is the same though: 1 cent for the slaughter house owner and 9 cents to the tax man.
I can remember a time when most Americans trusted the United States Government... most people even thought that the United States Government had our best interests at heart, as a nation.
Dogs don't normally bite the hand that feeds them - when they do they are put down HARD.
Good news is on the horizon! A Republican president will fix this mess, just send your money to your local GOP HQ and get on the bandwagon!
The idiot lemmings have been electing and relecting over and over career ruling elite politician miedras and look where the country is economically, socially, racially - more in debt, more jobless, more divisiveness.... as Einstein said, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and then expecting a different result.... so elect/reelect another career politician turd and for sure the mess will get fixed.... har de har har ahar...
Fuck you GUTS, the Ghost of fucking Mao would be an improvement over obama shit and clinton piss.
I'll register to vote if Trump is on the ballot, just because I want something to laugh at as the people that still believe in this freak out with him as president.
Sarcasm? You got my vote..if you are serious. Forget it. I think this mess is beyond fixing.
What kind of mutant knuckle-dragging retard--28%??--could think that the country is on the right track?
Probably the ones who learned to game the system for every free shit program they could get their hands on.
They are called progressive liberal democraps...
Winner of the best comment of the day!
It's all those follks over there at that meeting for Community Organizers.
If everyone got a government check, whether a paycheck or a welfare check, wouldn't everyone be happy?
I propose a new political platform for 2016: Vote 'em all out!
I have a better one. Withdraw your consent, don't vote, and focus on maximum self-sufficiency and minimum visible profile.
Sound advice.
Don't blame me! I didn't vote for any of them.
Hasn't that been the motto before every election for 30 plus years? As seek stated, one option is to withdraw, the other option is to fight. But if you think more elections are the answer... well, I would pity you, except I'm out of pity.
first you've got to get mad.....

But they gave us QE! It made any non bear in the stock market or anyone that invested pretty well off.
Q: How many queens does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: Answer below
ONE, and the whole world revolves around her.
No worries. The next POSident will give a fuck about the common man, I am certain.
Nothing about DIS falling 6+% after hours? Its second only to AAPL in the market darling stakes.
Probably just thin summer markets, but then again maybe it's chicken time in the land of Mickey - see who holds 'em and who folds 'em. My guess is it has to fill the gap at $96.
O'Bummer inherited every economic mistake made since Bill 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinski.' Clinton. He inherited six consecutive terms of neoliberalism that SCREWED Americans to a wall financially. Jeb Bush will further the ruin of the USA, and he cannot drill bastardized Economic fundamentals into anyone let alone the God damned Republican'ts, or Congress.
Face it, America, you are effin' FUCKED, and traveling up-shit-creek without a paddle.
Am tired of hering O inherited anything. You don't inherit something you ask for and then campaign to have. And O never meant to improve this nation. He has done just what he intended....to destory the country's economy, to piss off our allies, to embolden our enemies, and to see that your children and grandchildren never get out of debt for the next 50 decades. And to blame it all on Bush, which I'm also tired of hearing. Mission Accomplished.
"Barack Obama said all the right things, and a lot of people believed him. He had a chance to do the right thing, and people wanted him to do just that. Instead, he proved to be nothing but a shameless oligarch coddler, who essentially continued George W. Bush’s presidency..."
Exactly (!) What a dickhead.
I was convinced that having a black, non-American President would bring a new perspective to the White House and to America. Now I am convinced that the state legislatures must use the nuclear option of an Article V Convention to reign in, or terminate the D.C. terrorists. And, to try any former or future Presidents for high treason for the crime of holding the office of POTUS as an illegal alien. Along with the appropriate penalty of the gallows.

You want the truth? You can't handle the truth.
The truth is 90% of your neighbors and probably anyone in your area who are homeowners are underwater or close to it on their homes...because their jobs don't pay enough and they have refinanced to the hilt..with huge encouragement from lenders...and it is the only way they can continue on living this so-called middle class lifestyle. And no..they are not living high on the hog..they are barely making it.
It's not pretty. And it's going to get WAY more ugly..very very soon.
sure, but can they handle some blood? don't think so.
I am not for Trump, or Bush, or Hellary, or Biden his time.
Nor am I for Cruz, Jindal, Walker, Paul or any of the rest.
I am for NOBODY.
NOBODY cares about doing the RIGHT THING, rather than the thing that PAYS RIGHT NOW.
NOBODY sticks up for the little guy.
NOBODY has the courage to pull those Federal fingers out of all the many pies they don't belong in.
NOBODY will make sure they follow the Constitution from which their positions derive.
And if they don't, NOBODY will make sure they are appropriately punished for their Treason.
NOBODY will keep government regulation from being sold to the highest bidder.
NOBODY will put the DOERS before the MOOCHERS.
NOBODY understands that power underwritten by fraud and violence is a blank check written on an overdrawn account, that may temporarily grant affluence and power, but certainly will result in stagnation and default.
NOBODY has my vote.
And whether he is on the ballot or not... they can't really stop me from voting for NOBODY.
"Computer says, No"

At the end we get to pick Hillary puke or Bush puke.
What a conundrum. Who has better puke?
They both want to fight more wars, more free trade agreements, more tax cuts for the wealthy, more SS cuts more shit burgers for all.
At least we have a choice.
No...No...No...No.
You know what they say about a shitburger....the more bread you've got...the less shit you have to eat.
We are screwed because 35% believe the country is on the right track. That is a lot of dumbass people
Bingo! We have a winner!
No wonder O'Bomber is the ALL TIME GUN AND AMMO SALESMAN OF ALL TIME!!!!!!
Something is obviously wrong. John Q public does not like the 90% of new jobs- “temp” positions featuring minimum wage, no benefits, zero job security, astronomically expensive health insurance, sub-prime auto loans, tax payer funded multi-trillion $ wars and Wall St bank bailouts and tax cuts for the rich? It gets even better- the ave student graduates from college with that “highly coveted” college degree with ave $30K in debt, and (if possible) moves back in with mom and dad, hopefully getting an “unpaid” internship or a “paid” position in one of the “rapidly expanding”, albeit low paid, job opportunities in healthcare, food service, etc. What’s not to luv?
"But other than that, how was the play, Mrs Lincoln?"
If you voted for Obama's second presidency, then you DON'T have the right to be pissed off.
