Pew: 70% Experienced Significant Financial Issue

Jeebus. Found these numbers via Susie.

70% of those surveyed by Pew have either had someone in their household looking for work, had their hours/wages cut, or had problems paying significant bills.

70%.

I’m writing this from the Clusterfuck State, and that number is astounding even to me.

No wonder incumbents are going to get creamed in November.
