Big Government Isn’t Popular Again


Gallup finds a decline in public support for more taxes and services.

SHOCKING!!!!!!

If President Biden wants to understand why his $3.5 trillion entitlement spending plan is stalled in Congress, he might look at the new poll from Gallup. Asked whether government should do more or less to solve the country’s problems, 52% of Americans said government is doing too much.

This is a reversal from last year when the Gallup headline was: “New High 54% Want Government to Solve More Problems in U.S.” That was a blip. The only other time over Gallup’s 29 years of asking this question that at least half of Americans wanted more active government was after the 9/11 terror attacks.

In any case, voters got what they said they wanted in Mr. Biden in November. In his few months in office, the President has made clear the era of Big Government is back. But now that Americans are getting a better look at what this entails—higher taxes, more regulation, more spending and inflation—they are having second thoughts. How many Americans really think that the answer to beating Covid-19 is to sic the Occupational Safety and Health Administration on American employers?
