People do pay attention. And people are NEVER going to be for gutting Medicare/Medicaid. Never. And - surprise? - very few want to give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. People don't really believe its 'right' or practical, or that it would grow the economy.GOP Budget Plan Very Unpopular
A new Democracy Corps poll finds the Republican deficit reduction plan gets only 48% support, "but when voters learn almost anything about it, they turn sharply and intensely against it."
Key findings: "When the budget is described -- using as much of Paul Ryan's description as possible -- support collapses to 36% with just 19% strongly supporting the plan. The facts in the budget lose people almost immediately -- dropping 12 points. Putting the spotlight on this budget is damning. A large majority of 56% oppose it, 42% strongly. The impact is much stronger with seniors where support erodes from 48% to just 32%, with 57% opposed. Support with independents drops from 55% to 43%."
But Republican lawmakers will continue to try every few years. It would allow them to return even more money to the very wealthy.
