Americans' Opinion On Financial Security




The charts above are from the recent Gallup Poll (conducted between January 2nd and June 27th of 2013). The poll surveyed samples of adults of about 22,000 in size -- and has a margin of error of only 1 point. I think the charts are pretty self-explanatory, so I will just let them speak for themselves.

    Ted,
    I recently came across your jobsanger blog and really enjoyed all the posts especially this one about spending. As a concerned citizen and father, I can appreciate your views on the debt and government spending. I do not want to leave a tab that my children and grandchildren will have to pick up.

    I have an animated graphic that I think illustrates the national debt crisis and was wondering if you would be interested in posting it on your blog.

    Here is the link to the graphic http://www.tradingacademy.com/resources/financial-education-center/us-national-debt-clock.aspx

    Graphics like this add to the multimedia experience of websites. Feel free to post it within existing articles, as it just adds an additional element to the visual experience. Please let me know if you are interested in posting the graphic and I will send you details and instructions on placing it on the website. Thanks again for your consideration.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Bryan Baker

    Bryan,
    I appreciate your kind words about the blog. And I went over to your graphic and viewed it (and I encourage my other readers to do the same.

    However, I am probably not as worried about the national debt as your graphic infers that we should be. I believe with some good job creation and a return to higher taxes for the wealthy (and a return to corporations actually paying their share of taxes), the debt could be paid down to a reasonable level -- and no great burden would be put on our children and grandchildren.

    We have already cut spending as much as possible with causing real hurt to already hurting American citizens. It is now time to increase revenues. Unfortunately, the Republicans are blocking that -- and that is why they must be voted out of power.
