Given the media flurry and the crisis mongering from president Obama and the Obamacrats over the last few weeks, one would expect that the American public is in a tizzy about the upcoming spending reductions of the sequester. If you think that, however, you would be wrong. Here are the actual facts:
1) According to polling, only 36% of all Americans want Congress and the President to stop the sequestration cuts.
2) Only 39% of the public favors Obama's plan to replace half of the cuts with tax increases. Many more oppose that plan.
3) Only 17% of the public believes that sequestration will reduce government spending. Fully 58% understand that sequestration only reduces the rate of growth of government spending.
4) In the most important statistic of all, fully 68% of the public believes that the best thing that the government could do to help the economy is to CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING!!!!!
Taken together, what all this says is that the public recognizes the predictions of disaster being pushed by Obama, the Obamacrats and the compliant media for what it truly is: a major distortion. In fact, many recognize it to be a lie.
One last note: for those who began to believe that the GOP position on the sequester was going to mean that Republicans would lose the 2014 election (and you know who you are), let these poll results be a lesson for you. Just because Obama says something and his media buddies echo it, does not mean that the American public will buy into the BS. There are nearly two years until the next congressional elections. No one, and I mean no one, could possibly know now how those elections will turn out.
