Why is everyone so upset about the economy?

Question

Gas is down to $3.65!! Everyone is working!! And nothings changed in the last 8 years. So what's all the crying about the economy about?

Answer 1

Because after they go around yelling "the sky is falling" and it doesn't, they'll feel so much better.

Answer 2

Go to an optometrist and a hearing aid center. You are obviously both deaf and blind. Sub Prime crisis with housing, the government bailing out or taking over failing banks, the trillions of debt from the war in Iraq, no there's no problem.

Answer 3

The economy took a turn for the worse since Bush became president.  That is the absolute truth.  And it still sucks and we are still mad and it has only gotten worse over the years.  Gas is not down 3.65..it is still up 3.65.  The first time I noticed Bush was the problem was when I worked at a credit union and the federal rates that regulate the bank rates immediately went up and they haven't gone back to that since.

Answer 4

Inflation is up, unemployment is up, foreclosures are way up,  many people are drowning in debts, and the banks are often refusing to lend any more money.    

Many americans have been borrowing money using their houses as collateral and living it up like the rich guys.  Now they can't borrow any more.  And the banks are kicking them out on the street by the dozen.

It's no fun to go from feeling rich to feeling like the homeless bum.
