So who's part of the 29%?

>>Amazing that 73% disapprove of his handling of the economy. Record low unemployment, millions of new jobs created in the last three years, record high home ownership rates, record highs on the stock market. Go figure. Is it all gasoline prices?

It's gasoline prices and the fact that a lot of us in the middle class really don't see our standard of living increasing (and in many instances, actually cut), while at the same time, others are driving multiple escalades upsizing the home and such. I'm not a strong advocate for the poor, but the U.S. certainly under this administration hasn't done much for the average American working families. I'm talking about those of us with household incomes between $50 and $125k.

I don't bash Bush over the economy, but I do think he tweaked it to help a certain segment of the population.

- Plus, we have an infrastructure crisis in this country. Remember that burst steam pipe in Manhattan NYC that made headlines last week?? Well, it made headlines because it occurred at one of the busiest intersections in the world and killed one person, injured 40. Guess what, those types of things (burst pipes, sinkholes on highways, etc.) happen several times every day across this country, but they don't make headlines. Our infrastructure is decaying, but, hey, taxes were cut- and the $$ we should have been using to maintain this country's infrastructure was instead funneled to corporate cronies... And people wonder why the gap between rich and poor is growing....
