Entertaining seeing another side!! 
(a) 41% of US think Weapons of Mass Destrution has been found in Iraq or were "unsure".
(b) 31% think Iraq had used chemical or biological weapons during the war - or were "unsure".
(c) 60% think those weapons were the main reason for the invasion.
(d) 19% thought the reason for war was because is was "Iraq's ties to al-Qaeda.
(e) 20% thought the war was "due to the fact that Hussein was an oppressive dictator".
Finally, based on the "knowledge" portrayed above, 75% said the US president was "showing strong leadership in Iraq"

You are correct...that appears to be the result of the poll. Polls are always suspect as polls are easily manipulated...but nothing about the poll surprises me or alarms me. Is that short thrift enough to suit you.

As for the US going "bust"? Hell, even your own treasury spent a long enough time compiling the most comprehensive report yet on the US economy.
This boiled down to a chronic federal deficit budget totalling $44 billion in current US dollars.
For simplcity... that converts to:
(a) roughly 10 times the publically held national debt
(b) four years of US economic output
(c) 94% of all US household assets
The suggested remedy? An immediate and permanent 66% increase on income tax across the board.
Currently only 13 States have a fiscally sustainable policy at this time.
