Anyone who reads this post, I am imploring you to PLEASE help. We need to educate our fellow Americans on the workings of the Government. Here is a link to Pew Research Center results from a recent poll that they have conducted. And below is results of a question that are causing the problem that I am having:
| “Thinking about the economic stimulus passed by Congress last year. Do you think the stimulus has [see below] or not?” | ||||||
| Yes | No | Unsure | ||||
| % | % | % | ||||
| “Increased the federal budget deficit” | ||||||
| 7/15-18/10 | 66 | 23 | 11 | |||
Seriously??? I will give the 11 percent the benefit of the doubt or say at least they KNOW that they do not know. But, the other 23%?? Seriously??? Does anyone here actually believe that the stimulus ($800 BILLION, plus or minus) has NOT contributed to the National Deficit??
Please let me know, we can have a conversation about this. If you know someone who falls in this 23%, please sit them down and explain it (nicely) to them.
