Judith Of course I have no clue on that crazy woman, but generally, I think you are seeing the results of big business run wild in our country. They are losing employees left and right and giving the ones that are left more and more to do for the same or less pay, and meanwhile they are blaming it on the "recession" but they are often making record profits.
And the politicians are *ALL *miserable, so busy stuffing their own pockets with graft that they are not seeing the misery their actions (and inactions) are causing. We are seeing the rapid destruction of the middle class *AND *millions who *THOUGHT *they were OK for retirement are finding they get zero on their investments (because the government is printing trillions and loaning it at zero to the banks, to keep bailing them out), and now they will likely have to work the rest of their life. And we are told that when we are destitute the government will care for us, but for some that is little comfort. And there is no sign anything will get better anytime soon. I would say THE *ABOVE *greatly contributes to general fear, unpleasantness, and outright anger that you (and I) witness more and more on a daily basis.
