Olympia Elway Poll: 71% of WA Voters are f***** Idiots

From: Goldy (Horse's Ass Blog)
No wonder Washington state voters have such a low opinion of our lawmakers in Olympia. We keep hearing our Governor and legislators whine about how painful it will be to close a $5 billion budget gap, when in fact, as everybody knows, the solution is actually very, very easy:

The Legislature opens today for a wrenching 105-day session that will focus on chopping billions from the state budget.


But respondents to the latest Elway poll have a clear target for all that budget cutting: waste and fraud.


Some 71 percent of those polled said the state would have enough money to balance the budget if it eliminated waste and fraud.


But, you know, those damn politicians just won't cut all that waste and fraud because it's just so much easier to propose new taxes, hike college tuition, slash K-12 spending and cut tens of thousands of children from our health care rolls. Or something.


(Sigh.)
