2. Seems catch phrase "smaller gov to get smaller deficit" still works
Edited on Mon Apr-05-04 11:26 AM by papau
* By a 52% to 39% margin, American voters say that balancing the budget is more important than cutting taxes.

* By an even larger margin, 55% to 38%, voters also say that cutting government spending is more important than balancing the budget.

* Most dramatically, 64% of American voters say that they would prefer a federal budget that has a deficit at lower levels of taxes and spending rather than a balanced budget with higher levels of taxes and spending. Given this choice, just 25% opt for the balanced budget


SEEMS FOLKS ARE IN FAVOR OF APPLE PIE - CUTTING GOV IF POSSIBLE. NOT REALLY NEWS AS DEM AND GOP USUALLY DO NOT FAVOR HUGE GOVERNMENT, BUT THIS WILL BE SPUN INTO A FEW GOP SLOGANS
