Fearing The Known More Than the Unknown

The Washington Post is reporting on the results of a recent poll that showed voters, by a margin of 52% to 37%, worried more about raising the debt limit ceiling than the possibility of the United States defaulting on its debt. In other words the Democrats' scare tactic have not been a roaring success. It's hard to believe the Republicans did such a bang up job of selling this message in contrast to its making the case for the Ryan budget plan. It seems to be that American voters know the danger of debt without any coaching.
