What: "The American public is like a dog that's been kicked one too many times. The cascade of failures, the massive job loss, and the huge declines in home equity, have altered sentiment, psychology and actual behavior. Each time there's a new trauma - a month in which there is no jobs growth brinksmanship that almost results in default, a downgrade by Standard & Poor's, a damaging hurricane - Americans suffer flashbacks."
