Yes it is. And it's the fault of the same political forces that elected Bush twice and is now coalescing in the Tea Party.

don't worry bernake says time will heal the economy

And Obama assured us we're still a AAA credit rating country.

Much of our poverty is being imported from third world regions, they bring their cultural ways with them and have incredible birth rates. The responsible types aren't having near as many children as the irresponsible and in many regions, more children are born to welfare mothers than to working taxpaying families.

The War on Poverty has proved to the the biggest failure that ever was.
