95% of working Americans got a tax cut under the stimulus bill... they don't know it. Not only do they not know it, bur for some reason so many of them hate the stimulus bill.

Deficit projections are down in the last year... but people don't know it.

People love the provisions of the Health Care Reform bill, but for some reason, they don't like the bill.

They also don't know that repealing Health Care Reform will increase the deficit.

How is it that people don't know that short-term stimulus spending doesn't increase deficits anywhere near as much as structural tax policy?

I don't think the problem of the Democratic Party is that they're out of touch... I think that they haven't been able to inform people about what they've actually done.
