Demonstrating that a majority is clearly awake to what is going on:
A majority of Americans oppose the economic stimulus program, according to a new national poll.
Fifty-six percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Sunday say they oppose the stimulus package, with 42 percent supporting it.
In all my life, I’ve never seen so many poll results consistently showing that the American people are decisively rejecting the paradigm established during the Great Depression: That government can lead the way out of economic troubles.
That paradigm was false to begin with – we got out of the Depression in spite of government and were, indeed, hindered by government from recovering sooner. Now, with trillions of dollars in debt and the economy in the sink, the people are realizing that it was always stupid to think that you can borrow and print your way to wealth. Only hard work creates wealth – government’s sole purpose in economics is to encourage wealth creation. If the government is not fostering wealth creation, then it is simply robbing the people of their substance.
Democrats have their fingers crossed, hoping that an improving economy will rescue them in November. First off, the asinine policies implemented by Obama are, if anything, guaranteed to make things worse rather than better and (b) even if the economy does show some improvement, I don’t think that will serious limit the peoples’ desire for some fundamental change in government.
