In the past week, you couldn't swing a debt cat without hitting a press
report about how irresponsible the "Cut, Cap and Balance" bill passed by
House Republicans is.
A new CNN/ORC poll released a few hours ago finds the media very much on the
wrong side of public opinion concerning this issue:
23. In another proposal, Congress would raise the debt ceiling only if a
balanced budget amendment were passed by both houses of Congress and
substantial spending cuts and caps on future spending were approved. Would
you favor or oppose this proposal? July 18-20 2011
Favor 66%
Oppose 33%
No opinion 1%
Wow! Almost two-thirds of respondents favor "Cut, Cap and Balance."
But that's not all:
25. Would you favor or oppose a constitutional amendment to require a
balanced federal budget? July 18-20 2011
Favor 74%
Oppose 24%
No opinion 1%
Wow! Almost three quarters favor a balanced budget amendment.
Assuming he actually sees it, this will surely be a surprise to CBS's Bob
Schieffer who on Sunday's "Face the Nation" asked two Senators why they were
wasting their time debating such a thing.
It's certainly good to know how in touch with the people America's
newscasters and commentators are.
