I think it all boils down to that “I’m smarter than you are” attitude and he assumes his listeners will say… hell yeah! Why monitor volcanoes when unemployment is so high! Believe me, I have no love for politicians of either party but as long as people vote based on what they feel rather than what they know, we’re all screwed.

Yes, and the populist Republicans have used that bit for so many years that the average person out there considers the Republicans to be the anti-science party… and as the last two elections attest, the liberals have stolen the future from us due to that attitude.
