A Gallup Poll taken yesterday, November 9th, indicates that only 29% of Americans now support the Health Care Plans as now proposed. 36% said the proposed plan would make their current situation worse, while 31% said the plan would make no difference and 26% said the plan would make things better. Overall, 2/3 of Americans say the new proposed plans would not improve things.
COMMENTS:
And 60% say Obama is failing at addressing the budget deficit. Yet, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama seem to be more than content at what they have accomplished, regardless of what we think.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What do you think of Obama’s refusal to grant clemency for the Beltway Killer, John Allen Muhammed? (Richard – Portsmouth, NH)
A. That’s twice Obama has done the right thing since taking office. Don’t ask me what the other one was….it was months ago. I halfway expected Obama to do nothing…neither to grant or deny.
Q. How do you select what questions to answer in your blog? (Gwyn – Cleveland, OH)
A. The National Association of Hermits does not allow us to reveal all secrets.
Q. Chris Dodd has proposed legislation that would require businesses to pay employees who take time off due to the swine flue. What is your reaction to that? (Marianne – Sebastopol, CA)
A. My knee-jerk reaction is that Dodd never ceases to display his total ignorance of how things really work. If the employee has been on the job long enough, and if the business provides for sick or annual leave, the business has set aside money to cover such absences. Otherwise, the idea imposes an unanticipated financial obligation on a business owner who is strapped due to the rotten economy that Dodd is directly complicit in creating. Faced with such an unfunded mandate, I would choose to lay the employee off.
