So, have a look at this graph from "On spending, conservatives are quite conflicted" (Salon.com, yesterday)
Is that hilarious or what? Is that a typical result from that question set or was that poll an outlier?
In 2008, the American National Election Study asked a national sample whether federal spending on 12 different programs should be increased, decreased or kept about the same.
As the graph above illustrates, the respondents who identified themselves as "conservative" or "extremely conservative" had little appetite for specific spending cuts.
Because I am feeling bad that this diary is short, if you are bored please vote up the Treasury Consumer's Bill of Rights. Thanks!
Sorry the poll got stuck before I finished it. I'm still previewing but I can't edit it.
