Poll: Only 27% Support Raising Debt Ceiling, 62% Oppose it…
Obama’s misguided belief in Keynesian economics hardest hit.
(The Hill)- Only 27 percent of likely voters favor raising the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, while 62 percent oppose it, according to an exclusive poll for The Hill.
The poll found solid opposition from Republicans and also from independent voters, who are critical to President Obama’s re-election in 2012.
Seventy-seven percent of likely GOP voters and 64 percent of independent voters said they don’t want the debt ceiling to be raised. Even among Democrats, more oppose raising the ceiling (46 percent) than support it (42 percent).
The poll also finds the public continues to believe President Obama’s 2009 economic stimulus package failed to help the economy.
Only 36 percent of voters surveyed said stimulus spending creates jobs, while 48 percent said flatly that it does not. Crucially, 61 percent of independent voters took that negative view.

No..
Scary – Harry Reid says a proposed ~ 32 billion dollar ‘cut’ ( as Washington calls it when you increase spending less than you would otherwise have liked to increase it ) is all kinds of ‘harsh’ and ‘draconian’ and ‘unworkable’, etc.
But borrowing another 1.2 TRILLION this year – THAT”S OK. and next year, and the year after that.
The size of government spending has increased > 25 % in just the last 3 years, and Reid et al say giving up even any portion of that is ‘unacceptable’.
Big big trouble is ahead.
