Government programs
to help people started in the 1930s

Supported then and
today

But have mixed
feelings over the spending

Big support for
Social Security and poor

But not for
"welfare"

Want
people to work or have job training while on it

Most want more
spending on edu, highways, etc

But 66% feel that
taxes are too high

Many support states
taking more control

Only 12% think fed
gov spends $$ efficiently

Perhaps
due to high visibility of fed gov

More people like fed
gov since 9/11

Less support now for
smaller gov

Instead want current
size managed better
