And for good reason. Why should anyone have high expectations when those who created the recession are still on the loose? People voted for a lot more change than they've seen. Voting for the same old crowd with the same old ideas that got us into this mess won't fix the problem. It's unfortunate but neither political party has much of a clue which probably is why so many voters are so pessimistic.
Americans are growing increasingly doubtful about direction of the US economy, according to the latest survey from business-advisory firm AlixPartners.
In fact, an increasing number, some 61 percent, say they don't expect to return to their respective pre-recession lifestyles until the spring of 2014, if ever.
What's worse, a full 10 percent said they expect they will never return to pre-recession spending.
