BREAKING: Poll - 7% think PBS spending makes up HALF of all Federal Spending.

[James48]

Polling data says 7% of the American public actually believes that
the Corporation for Public Broadcasting makes up OVER 50% of all
federal government spending.

An amazing 22% believe that
Public Broadcasting accounts for ten percent or more of all
federal government spending.

See question number 39.

(The actual number is 0.012% of 2011's federal spending, by the way)

(What a sad commentary of the state of our Union).

2. It's a five point Likert scale,

but it goes from "increased a little" to "stay the same" to "decreased a little" to "decreased a lot" to "eliminated completely."

It's skewed toward a decrease.

3. Sometimes I wonder if a country like ours really deserves

to have a President as smart as Obama.

Then I remember: Better that he have access to the codes than someone else.

5. I wouldn't be surprised if 7% of people polled

would say that they were abducted by aliens too.
