Gallup Says ...
New poll by Gallup asked Americans what they worry about. What makes them nervous? Four categories: you worry a great deal, a fair amount, a little, not at all. First, the economy; 88 percent are worried about that 11 percent are not. Federal spending and the budget deficit 80 percent worried, 20 percent not. Healthcare, 77 percent worried about it, 23 percent are not. Unemployment, 77 percent concerned, 23 percent not. Hunger and homelessness, 76 percent worried about that, 23 percent not. Social Security System 75 percent concerned, 24 percent not. Crime and violence, 70 percent concerned; 29 percent not. Power of the federal government, 68 percent worried about that, 31 percent are not. Possibility of terror attacks, 63 percent worried; 37 percent not. Drug use, 63 percent concerned, 37 percent not. I*****l i*********n, 57 percent of Americans are worried about it; 42 percent not worried. And c*****e c****e, 49 percent concerned but 51, a majority are not concerned.
So as usual money issues dominate. Security second and theoretical situations like c*****e c****e are way down the list. To be fair, every American should support a cleaner environment. U.S. industries should be given tax breaks to develop alternative fuels and more efficient cars. Because getting away from f****l f**ls is a good thing.
But liberal America wants far more than that don't want to impose restrictions that hurt all Americans in their theoretical battle against g****l w*****g. And President Obama buys into that. The t***h is Mr. Obama should have approved the Keystone Pipeline a long time ago. That would help the U.S. economy, damage OPEC and Russia and not hurt the environment according to all credible studies.
The Gallup poll proves once again the economy is the big dog. America is getting weaker because we are not able to generate enough good jobs in the private sector so that workers can move up. A stagnant society is a weak society.
As Talking Points has mentioned, the next e******n this coming November is big. The main issue, whether the country wants to return to a robust private business climate or wants to stay with the big government nanny state philosophy. That's what's at stake in November.
There are two opposing philosophies here.
1) Gov't, given enough resources, can cure society's ills.
2) It is not Gov't responsibility to resolve all society's ill. Individual Liberty shall prevail.

Troubleshooter Tim-isn't ironic that the democrats believe in number one. Can you even fathom that after it has been proven time and again that it cannot succeed, the democrats think they can make it work here. The sad part of it all is that we have 3 more years of this deranged mentality syndrome steering the country. Good Luck America !!!

Ricko: We can seriously marginalize the Bastard in 2014!
Problem with #1 is even at 95% tax rate there isn't enough money. Now sit back, look at your pay stub and think, can I live on 5%!
