The perception of the PRESENT state of the economy, or the PAST cheating of the system, are infinitely more verifiable than what will happen in the FUTURE.
But again, you are pushing my buttons, I am letting you, so who's the bonehead here? I don't know you well, but I think I know you well enough to think that you are not one to typically like twisting words for reactions. Hey, I've been wrong before.
The general perception that our country is in the shitter is based on the facts that our economy is "cratering" unemployment is through the roof, and houses are being lost left and right. The perception that we are in the shitter is based on the fact that we smell that shit everywhere. I'm not making the state of the union up to make a point, or even to spread the naysay you are accusing me of (and ironically in the process doing so yourself.)Get real for a second, I beg of you.
Why, what's your perception, Mr T? Are you, you personally, better off than you were 8 years ago?
So typical to relate it all somehow to Britney Spears, though. I can't tell if the intention was to recall those lovely campaign ads or not, but it's truly hilarious either way. :p
btw, where's that thread where you asked folks to see what happens with the new president before we spew negativity like last night's tequila and beer? I'm sure I joked, but I know I've said somewhere that I hoped that anyone who got elected would do what's best for WE THE PEOPLE. Or, Ouija People, one of those.
