Or, ask if Americans trust themselves more than the president (check gallup for that one).<br /><br />The fact of the matter is that Congress, namely the democrats, are not giving the American people what they want. The numbers show that more Americans don't want the healthcare reform bill passed than those who do. There are better ways to address the issue and different actions can be taken instead of throwing liberty out the window. Of course, there is also the fact that the healthcare bill is unconstitutional as the power isn't given to Congress in article 1 section 8.Derekhttp://www.myuncommonsense.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-47040866550561221542009-07-31T00:27:00.641-07:002009-07-31T00:27:00.641-07:00Great, great analysis.

Americans trust Obama over congressional GOPers on health care by a 55%-26% margin.<br /><br /> 2. 72% think Congress is moving either too slowly or at the right pace.<br /><br /> 3. 59% think Obama is moving either too slowly or at the right pace.<br /><br /> 4. 76% think health care costs pose a serious threat to the nation's economy.<br /><br /> 5. 66% support a Medicare-style public option for all Americans.<br /><br />Obviously, polling numbers vary, but the trend is pretty clear here.Green Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477132834757467690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-54345001481637350172009-07-30T21:09:36.652-07:002009-07-30T21:09:36.652-07:00"Yesterday, Henry Waxman and Nancy Pelosi rev..."Yesterday, Henry Waxman and Nancy Pelosi revealed that they have enough votes in the House, where there is no filibuster, to deliver what 76% of the American people want- a health care reform bill with a public option."<br /><br />Actually, more Americans don't want the reform bill passed than those who do, 50% to 44%, as of last week. So no, they aren't giving "76% of the American people [what they] want". They are giving 44% of the people what they want, and 50% of the people what they don't want. In the end, they are giving themselves what they want, and what no Americans want: more power.Derekhttp://www.myuncommonsense.comnoreply@blogger.com
