About those calm, pragmatic New England Yankees...

Even they're [wicked] worried about the state of the US economy:

In New England, the latest SurveyUSA poll, conducted exclusively for WBZ-TV Boston, paints this picture of the economy:

* 56% say the U.S. Economy is "weak."
* 74% say the USA is already in a Recession.
* 35% say someone in the immediate family is out of work.
* 84% worry about being able to pay the bills.
* 58% worry about losing their job.
* 46% worry about losing their home.
* 83% worry about having enough money for retirement.
* 67% worry there may be a run on the banks.
* 86% worry the USA may be headed into an economic Depression.

67% believe their could be a run on banks? Perhaps it's time to invest in stocks of shovels and coffee cans?
