Seriously?

I am typically a fan of James Surowiecki. He is the only reason I have the New Yorker in my feed reader. No bullshit.

However, this article is one of the most tone deaf things I have read in awhile.

The people want jobs and are upset with the stimulus. People want health care reform and don't like Obamacare...those silly voters.

He apparently can't even consider that people don't believe that stimulus will create jobs. Or that Obamacare won't fix the real problems with health care or have side effects worse than the disease.

As a man who wrote a book about the dangers of people making decisions when they end up in an echo chamber...maybe he should talk to the vast majority of Americans (according to polls) who are opposed to the items he mentions and ask them what their problem is.
