This is quickly becoming the world’s least surprising chart. A new survey from
the Pew Research Center finds that most Americans like the idea of
cutting federal spending in the abstract — they just can’t agree on any
specific areas they’d actually like to cut:
Foreign aid is far and away the most popular suggestion for the
chopping block, but even here, it’s a close call — 48 percent of
respondents said cut it, 49 percent said keep it the same or increase
it. (Foreign aid makes up less than 1 percent of the federal budget.) In
no other spending area is there majority support for cuts.
