On this weekends Real Time with Bill Maher, Bill suggested that America leads the the world in self esteem. We are middle of the pack in education but we sure think we're smart.
A recent Rasmussen poll confirms Mr. Maher's assertion. The poll results found the following:
Although the Congressional Budget Office claims repealing the health care law will increase the federal budget deficit, a plurality (45%) of voters disagrees with that assessment.
Notice how the Rasmussen wording gives credence to these idiots by inserting the word "claims" for something that is universally known to be fact.
I can't think of anything that is better proof of how stupid half of America is than a poll showing that average Americans think they are smarter on economics than a room full of guys with Masters and Doctorate degrees in economics. Keep in mind they are likely some of the same people who carry a balance on a credit card or use cash advance services. Their monetary IQ is not high.
It's too bad an exaggerated vision of one's own importance can't be exported. If so our slow recovery would turn in to rapid growth and the South would be the leading exporter.
