And across eight different policy areas, never more than 6 percent of those surveyed thought the public possessed a "great deal" of knowledge on the topic."

And their absolutely right. Most people have no clue about any individual policy area or even a general grasp on how our government works. They just know its bad and they should have to spend non of their time explaining how -- or otherwise learning anything about the problem.

This entire article misses an important point. It is hard to actually be well informed about the details of something like healthcare regulations. People have shit to do in their lives besides becoming experts on every political issue. The problem with our system isn't that everyone isn't a professional technocrat on important issues -- its that working people very commonly have no one speaking for them.

didn't read, already sperged about....
