It’s nice to know that so many people are amenable to spending cuts. However, it depends on what the meaning of “thoughtful” is.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 66% of Likely U.S. Voters think that, as the nation searches for solutions to the federal budget crisis, thoughtful spending cuts should be considered in every program of the federal government.
My goal is to cut spending in the programs that (1) are not the purview of the federal government, (2) are ineffective, and (3) create a dependency society. Coupled with tax reform that adds back many of those who currently pay zero federal income tax, and I’d say we’ve got ourselves a reasoned fiscal program.
