GALLUP: Americans blame government for the economy. “When asked whom they blame more for the poor economy, 64% of Americans name the federal government and 30% say big financial institutions. 78% say Wall Street bears a great deal or a fair amount of blame for the economy; 87% say the same about Washington.”

This is an even bigger margin than the Hill poll I mentioned yesterday. Conn Carroll adds: “This is dead on. It is not that Wall Street is completely innocent, far from it. But what the Occupy movement, and their intellectual leaders, fail to grasp is that the federal government has been Wall Street’s partner in crime.” Fail to grasp, or, in some cases, are trying to cover up.
