When You Thought You'd Heard It All

The surprise is not the fact that most conservatives support spending cuts. The surprise is that, for the first time that I know of, a majority of Republicans support Spending Cuts across the board, including the military, instead of everything except military. Other responses were to pass a balanced budget amendment (good luck with that), tax cuts (which ADD to the deficit. 3 percent of people are sniffing markers.), and fixing Social Security and Medicare (where to start?). And, perhaps not so surprisingly, more people have confidence that the incoming Republicans will cut spending, instead of the returning Republicans.
