Imagine that. This is why the Democrats should not offer any assistance with the GOP gutting of any programs in the US. People can accept some cuts but when you slash and burn across the board, people aren't going to be happy. Let the GOP own that problem. Bailing out state GOP governors is also a mistake as the governors will take all of the credit and the Republicans will still bash Obama. If voters insisted on having a taste of GOP rule, let them figure it out on their own what the cost is of supporting such bad policy.
Almost two out of three voters now believe that the Government's spending cuts are unfair, according to a new opinion poll.And no, even now, people probably don't realize how painful it still will get in the UK with the cuts.
The ComRes poll for The Independent on Sunday and Sunday Mirror found 63% thought the impact would be felt more by poorer households than the better off - up from 57% in December.
Almost as many, 57%, thought that the Government was cutting too far and too fast in its efforts to tackle the deficit - again up from 54% previously.
And 69% thought that they would be worse off personally as a result of the coalition's measures, compared with 66% in the last poll.
