The people are against what the “educated classes” are for not out of contrariness or ignorance, they are against them because what the “educated classes” want to do is really, really stupid and counterproductive. All their education doesn’t allow them to recognize that the healthcare monstrosity, the stimulus bill that doesn’t stimulate anything, huge deficits that make the deficits of the Bush Administration look frugal by comparison, cap and tax and other policies intended to meet the nonexistent problem of global warming er climate change, and treating terrorists like they committed infractions of the civil law, are all very stupid policies and will not accomplish what the Obama Administration says they intend to accomplish. Maybe Obama and his comrades are lying about what they intend to accomplish. That’s the logical alternative to dismissing the conclusion that the policies are stupid. Which conclusion do you think Brooks would prefer?

And on cue, the NYTimes backs me up. They simply do not understand the average American. There will be another post on this. At least.

People are confused on what this health care bill is going to do

Actually, the reason most people are against the bill is that they are very clear about what it will do. He is upset that he and his kind have not been able to confuse everyone about the bill. I still get answers from congress critters who are in denial about what this bill actually says and ignore the evil methods used to pass it.
