Support for O-Care down 9 points in a week

Nine points in a week! To only 38%.

And on the other side, opposition is up 7 points to 56%, which is a ridiculously high number. An 18-point differential. That is huge. 

Ed at HotAir thinks this is an indictment primarily of how Reid and Pelosi have chosen to handle the voting on the bills: Saturday night votes, hundred million dollar bribes and a palpable sense of urgency for legislation that nobody seems to want. That is undoubtedly true; I'd have to search far and wide to find an analog for this kind of opaqueness surrounding wildly unpopular legislation.

But I think it is equally a function of the public's getting a crash course on economics. ObamaCare has brought so many ill-conceived socialist economic flaws front and center that it's been next to impossible for the public not to have noticed. The numbers are staggering and people have developed an insatiable appetite for understanding just how disastrous is socialist, Keynesian economics. They've begun to understand why idiots like Paul Krugman and E.J. Dionne are just wrong. There's no room in this debate for Frum-like compromise because there can be no compromise between Keynesian and Capitalist economic theory. One is right and one is wrong and you can't force a hybrid consisting of right and wrong. It will never work.

There's a very real chance that support for ObamaCare could fall to 30% meaning that only 3 in 10 people want this. If it does and Congress continues to force it on us, we're going to have to have a serious conversation about whether Congress is functioning as it was intended and whether there are options for seeing that it never happens again. 

We'll see if anyone's paying attention when the Senate returns from their Thanksgiving break to debate the bill.

We'll see...and we'll take notes.
