Angry Nation
No shocker here: People are mad at Washington. From The Washington Post:
“„Two-thirds of Americans are “dissatisfied” or downright “angry” about the way the federal government is working, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. On average, the public estimates that 53 cents of every tax dollar they send to Washington is “wasted.”
Disappointingly, the pollsters didn’t ask specifically which party respondents blame for the government’s perceived failures. Unless there’s been some strange break from recent public perception, though, odds are the discontent is being aimed at incumbents in general, not any one party in particular.
