Obergruppenführer McPollster: 66% See Tax Cuts as Better Stimulus than Gov't Spending

There is hopeful.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters finds that 66% believe cutting taxes is a better way to create new jobs than increasing government spending. That’s up seven points from January.

Just 18% think increasing government spending is the better way to go. Another 16% are not sure.

Sixty-five percent (65%) say decisions made by U.S. business leaders to help their own businesses grow will do more to create jobs than decisions made by government officials. Twenty-five percent (25%) say decisions made by government officials to create jobs will do more.

For the cost of Obama's spendulus, the U.S. could have had an income tax moratorium for a year. That would have been economic stimulus. Instead, Obama and his cronies spent the money on butt lickers and pet projects that went unsubsidized by the taxpayer during the Bush years.

Oh, but read the next sentence:

Still, 69% of voters say it is at least somewhat important for the government to launch a new program designed to create jobs, with 50% who believe it is very important. Only 27% say such a program is not very or not at all important.

I take it back.
