60%: Cut everything by Don Surber
One good thing about overspending by $4 trillion since Barack Obama become president: It eliminated all the sacred cows. An overwhelming majority not seen in 39 years wants every federal government program to have its budget cut. Every single one of them. No exceptions. Just cut the spending already.
The Rasmussen Poll asked: “Should spending cuts be considered in every federal government program?”
60% said yes.
Let me put that in perspective. Ronald Reagan received only 58.8% of the vote in 1984 when he carried 49 states.
Barack Obama received only 52.9% of the vote in 2008 when he carried 28 states.
The last president to receive 60% of the vote was Richard Nixon when he got 60.7% of the vote in
1972 when he carried 49 states.
Only 28% want any program spared.
By age group, race, income, political stripe, race — you name it — by any category, mor Americans want cuts considered in ieach agency than want agencies spared.
That is remarkable.

Now 60% want every federal program to face spending cuts.
