It’s just a guess on our part, but we suspect that someone is slipping hallucinogens into the waters of the Potomac River. That’s the only reasonable explanation for this story.
CNS News has the details:
Only in Washington, D.C.— home of a federal government that has dramatically increased its spending as a share of the U.S. economy over the last three years—did a majority of the people say they believe the economy was getting better not worse in the first half of this year, according to a survey released today by Gallup.
In not one state did more than 41 percent of those surveyed tell Gallup they believed the economy was getting better.
From January through June, Gallup asked 87,634 American adults in all 50 states and the District of Columbia this question: “Right now, do you think the economic conditions in the country are getting better or getting worse?”
In D.C., 60 percent said the economy was getting better and 31 percent said it was getting worse.
Nowhere else in the nation did the majority think the economy was getting better. Nowhere.
Even in neighboring Maryland, where lots of excess federal government dollars lap up along the shores of Chesapeake, only 41% think things are getting better while 52% think they’re getting worse.
And in Virginia, the other neighbor that benefits from the flood of federal employment gushing out of Washington DC, 40% said things are improving while 55% laughed their asses off when they heard the question.
Wait. We’ve come up with another reasonable explanation. The regime has banned all radio, television and internet access in the nation’s capital and its residents are now getting all their news from the Washington Post.
