A recent poll (6/17/09) stated more Americans were concerned about the budget deficit than they were the economy, or any other leftist cause. You can look it up.
This can be significant, for as Moses Sands reminded me about the 1990 Nicaraguan election, when the people threw out the communist Sandinistas. As a way to chide Americans, Moses pointed out that the Nicaraguan people had figured out the fine print of the socialist contract, and rejected it, which he was unsure the American people would even be able to figure out, let alone reject.
He put it this way:
The Communists offered the people all sorts of things they'd always been denied, but with strings:
Education, but you can only read what we say you can read. Si!.
Better housing, but you can only live where we say you can live. Si!
Jobs, but you must work where we tell you to work. Si!
Where do we sign up?
The fine print, to be disclosed later... Oh, and this contract shall be binding on your children and your children's children.
No, no, no!
The deficit, and it's gonna be a whopper, is a contract on our children and our children's children, and it seems the American people are beginning to figure this out.
