State budget crunch? It's the spending, stupid

July 8, 2010

Rasmussen reports today that "most Americans report their state currently has a budget crisis, and they continue to blame politicians more than taxpayers for the problem.

"The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of adults shows 75% say the unwillingness of politicians to reduce government spending is more to blame for current state budget crises than the unwillingness of taxpayers to pay more in taxes. Only 13% take the opposing view and blame taxpayers’ unwillingness to pay more to the government. Another 12% are undecided."
