A majority of American people are worried and angry about the
size of US federal budget deficit, according to a new survey.
On Thursday Fox News released a poll showing 86 percent of
respondents are worried or angry over the growing budget deficit.
Some 47 percent of participants said they believe President
Barack Obama's federal spending freeze proposal is a gimmick
and will not help to reduce the deficit.
The poll also found that those who voted have a gloomy outlook
for the economy, as 56 percent say "the worst is yet to
come."
On Monday, President Obama sent Congress a $3.8 trillion spending
plan for fiscal year 2011. His proposal included a record $708
billion military budget. The new budget plan projects an increase
in the federal deficit to a record $1.56 trillion this year.
Deficits over the next 10 years would add an additional $8.5
trillion to the national debt of the United States.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a massive injection
of cash to keep the wheels of the US economy rolling, have caused
government spending to explode, while revenues have shrunk with
the economy.
"When the people find they can vote themselves
money, that will herald the end of the republic."
