CBS News: Americans Pessimistic - Blame Wall Street & Washington

On CBS News this morning (Aug. 29) - CBS News contributor Frank Lutz displayed a focus group to poll on the current state of affairs. He offered a question of - whether or not - the people would take a check to leave the United States.

When he polled those there and asked who blamed Wall Street alone - only 1 person raised their hand. Same result when he polled the question of "do you blame Washington D.C. alone". However, when he asked how many felt that it was both Wall Street and Washington D.C. to blame - everyone else raised their hands.

Here's a link to the video (that I'm not techy enough to place here);
and the pic is by CBS

But the near unanimous hands up that it's Washington, D.C. and Wall Streets fault

is SO 'Spot On'!
