The Conservative Agenda: Ignorance

The greatest threat to the Conservative agenda is a knowledgable, well educated electorate. Consider this from The Huffington Post:

A recent paper by Cornell political scientist Suzanne Mettler surveyed how many recipients of government benefits don't really believe they have received any benefits. She found that over 44 percent of Social Security recipients say they "have not used a government social program." More than half of families receiving government-backed student loans said the same thing, as did 60 percent of those who get the home mortgage interest deduction, 43 percent of unemployment insurance beneficiaries, and almost 30 percent of recipients of Social Security Disability.

Surprised? You shouldn't be. The Republican attack on "big government socialist entitlements and secular public education" would get laughed off the ballot if not for the GOP/FuxNews flood of confusing lies and distortions reinforcing that kind of voter ignorance.
