A recent Gallup poll revealed that the number one problem facing America, according to those polled, is the government. Twenty-one percent listed this as the worst problem facing the nation. Rounding out the top five problems were the economy (18%), unemployment (16%), healthcare (16%), and government debt (8%).
These poll results were dramatically out-of-sync with President Obamas declaration that income inequality is this nations chief problem. Only 4% of the poll respondents agreed with his assessment.
As one poll respondent explained, my work hours have been cut and my health insurance canceled. My wife has been unemployed for three years. We voted for Obama hoping hed get us out of the Bush recession. As he promised, the government is doing more than ever, but things have just gotten worse.
President Obama, though, denied government is to blame. The vast majority of economic activitymanufacturing, distribution, jobsis the responsibility of the private sector, Obama said. People pretty much get to do what they want. If they expect government to solve problems theyve got to be willing to go where the government tells them and do as theyre told. Without this type of cooperation it isnt fair that we are held accountable for peoples dissatisfaction with their lives.
