Printing More Money Tackles Inflation. Really?

A recent Newsweek poll found these results. Countering this level of stupidity is a pretty daunting task. And gives you some insight into why politicians keep telling what would seem to be obvious lies. 

The survey found 63 percent of respondents said they agree—with 42 percent saying they "strongly agree"—when asked if the federal government should issue new stimulus checks to tackle inflation.

Ignorance is Bliss?

A while back Rush Limbaugh coined the term "low information voter" to describe that portion of the public that simply isn't paying attention. Some people have accused him of exaggeration.

Last week the Kaiser Foundation released a national survey about Obamacare -- certainly the most consequential and highest profile action taken during the Obama administration. It's in the news every week. Lately everyday. Yet fewer than six in 10 Americans know that the Obamacare law is still on the books. Seven percent think the Supreme Court struck it down; 12 percent say Congress repealed Obamacare.




In other words, the American public is blissfully unaware as we proceed down the path of implementing  this horrible (or wonderful), but certainly nation-changing piece of legislation. Now, Mr. Romney, do you have a better handle on why you may have lost the election?
