The other day I saw a poll in which respondents expect that medicare/aid, ss, the military AND taxes go untouched...WTF?? I don't like these guys but...poll after poll shows that Americans have a completely unrealistic expectation of where we are as a country and what is reasonable to expect from its government...this kind of ignorance in the electorate does not bode well for the future of policy. Its been my concern right along. Its the same ignorance that got Bush elected in office for 8 long years. Europeans know more about what's happening in this country than many Americans. I love this; finally, the tax-and-spend argument is being soundly rejected, and the leftwing nutjobs are out in force -- "I don't get it, I just don't understand. What's wrong with these idiots? Why can't they just see that spending our kids money makes perfect sense? I can't believe they may not reelect the most unqualified president in modern times!!!" You guys are fun to watch.
