Morning Bell: Congress vs. the American People
Conn Carroll writes at The Foundry, the blog of the Heritage Foundation:
Another day, two new polls showing the American people are strongly against the health care plan President Barack Obama will sign into law today.
According to CNN, 59% of Americans oppose President Obama’s plan.
And according to CBS News, 48% of Americans oppose the plan (with 33% in strong opposition) compared to only 37% who support it (with only 13% in strong support).
Digging deeper into the CBS poll, we find that 76% of Americans disapprove of how Congress is handling its job on health care, 46% think Congress has spent too much time on health care, and 49% believe the rules and procedures used in Congress to get the current health care bill passed have been mostly unfair.
But the leftist majorities in Congress just do not care what the American people think.
