Nobody Cares About the Deficit
Sitting here in the
UK, where everyone continues to believe that budget deficits are the
central issue despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, it’s
refreshing to look home once in a while and contemplate the utter
collapse of the deficit-scold agenda.
One way to see this is to track the disappearance of Alan Simpson from the radar; another is to look at polls
that ask people to name important issues. For example, CNN/ORC has been
asking consistent questions for several years; here’s the percentage of
voters naming the budget deficit as the most important issue:
January 2013: 23 percent
May/June 2014: 15 percent
Sept. 2014: 8 percent
In the most recent CBS/NYTimes poll, which was open-ended, the deficit didn’t even make it onto the list.
And you know what? The public is right, and the Very Serious People were and are wrong."
