Not the best state of mind to make long-term decisions in.
What other state should you be in for answering difficult questions?
Confused and happy. Confused with neutral affect. Maybe not-confused and proud of yourself for acquiring the information needed to make the decision a no brainer.
(I do agree that it can depend on the situation and that various moods bias us in ways that can be more useful in certain situations.)

Is there any research about how whether one makes better decisions when one is happy then when one is depressed?
