I’m beginning to think that more than half of all Americans

… have below average intelligence.

Sixty-two percent of McCain voters, 59 percent of self-described conservatives, and 62 percent of self-described Republicans think government should stay out of Medicare as against (a still distressingly high) 20 percent of Obama voters, 25 percent of self-described liberals, and 24 percent of self-described Democrats. Among independents, 31 percent agreed that government should stay out of Medicare.

Timothy Noah – Slate Magazine has more.

For my part I sure hope Obama doesn’t let the government take over the Army and Navy or the National Park Service.

  1. Can we get government to stay out of Congress? Nobody likes the way Congress is run, and letting the government have a say will surely make it worse!

  2. Avelino, perhaps an even better idea is to have Congress stay out of government.

    I am becoming convinced that the single biggest impediment to progress in this country is the U.S. Senate.
