Americans, by and large, can't think for themselves. A recent poll showed that nearly 60% of Americans rated the economy as either "bad" or "below average", while 70% of the same respondants said their economic status was "good" or "better than average."

If the media says the economy is bad, Americans will believe it. It's easier to let the media think for you.

Look around. People are still going to dinner and going on vacations. In spite of high gas prices, people are still driving.

And everyone has a job. In fact, unemployment claims took a dive last month.

But the economy sucks, apparently.
