The Public Option:
Why are white voters in red states so opposed to the public option in health care reform? Because they're convinced that the federal government simply takes their tax money and hands it out like candy to people who are … not like them.
Check out what's happening in the "seven-month-old program to help homeowners with little or no equity [to] refinance their mortgages" (Renae Merle, "Refinancing lifeline fails to reach most 'underwater' homeowners" in today's Washington Post). Some 97 percent of such people fail to receive any assistance. Another government program gone astray. Don't fail to notice here that the vast majority of these folks have mortgages on homes that are worth far less than they are worth.
