United States of Angst: Americans Stressed, Depressed, Polls Show

NATION/ECONOMY

COMMENTARY
This here, folks, is what I call a damn useless poll.

For example, the article, United States of Angst: Americans stressed, depressed, polls show, clearly states:

"The University of Chicago survey published Wednesday found people reporting at least one significant "negative life event" jumped from 88 percent to 92 percent since 1991."

Well, I'm no genius but I'd venture to say without a doubt that 100 percent of all people have had at least one "negative life event." Anyone who hasn't had one, please raise your hand we all want to talk to you!

The poll goes on to claim that more folks can't afford medial care, and are unemployed -- and fewer folks have health insurance -- all vastly different than in the good `ol days of the early 1990s. Well, I guess you can just chalk that up to the inability of some people to shake off the dirge of reckless Clintonomics that eventually fostered an economic environment which trashed the market and caused the bust at the end of the 90s. Oh no, that just won't go down well out in Left field.
