" TO HELL......IN A HANDBASKET" .......Americans View their Country

We are so low, so depressed as Americans the polling companies, those organizations that "take out temperature" have found that about 58% of us feel that our country is going to "Hell in a Handbasket." This is an old American saying that we've been shot in the rear end, going down to the ground, we're out of gas, grinding to a halt, we're done, out of ideas, energy, nothing works, depleted, out of options.
