Majority Of Voters Want New Government Spending Offset By Other Cuts In Federal Budget

From Rasmussen Reports, "Most Think New Gov Spending Should Be Offset By Cuts Elsewhere":

Tuesday, September 25, 2018

Congress is set to pass a spending bill this week to avoid another partial government shutdown, but most voters think any new spending should be offset by cuts in other areas of the budget.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 54% of Likely U.S. Voters agree that any new spending approved by Congress should be offset by cuts in other areas of the federal budget. That’s up 10 points from July 2017, when voters similarly lost faith that spending cuts would be coming, but in line with findings earlier in the year. Twenty-five percent (25%) of voters think new spending should not be offset by budget cuts, but 20% are undecided.
