This is an extremely popular liberal talking point. I do not believe it to be true. The article linked below has it at 60/40. But that's just a simple yes/no

This is an extremely popular liberal talking point. I do not believe it to be true.
The article linked below has it at 60/40. But that's just a simple yes/no survey. When you probe the 40, they are mostly for it too, just with extreme reservations. Talk to some. It's definitely not an 'I got mine, let everyone else die' as is painted.

- forgetfreeman 4y agoYou don't believe it to be true based on what? The fact that it's an extremely popular liberal talking point, or some actual data?
- silisili 4y agoThe actual data is closer to 1/3 against than 1/2. Nothing more is usually collected than that vote. I don't believe, even given revised data above, that even 1/3 are against it. I'd estimate less than 1/5 are against it no matter what. The remainder has doubts and conditions, a given considering how awful government projects usually go. If I thought healthcare would be run like the DMV, I'd vote against it too.
- forgetfreeman 4y agoHow awful which government projects go? Yeah the DMV is a thing, but so is NOAA and NASA.
- silisili 4y agoThose are good orgs, but not really customer facing ones. Of those people interact with, I can't think of one people actually like. Social Security offices come to mind. And apparently the IRS is impossible to get ahold of, though luckily I've never need to.
- forgetfreeman 4y agoI mean why would you want to?
