70 Percent Say Federal Spending Hasn't Increased Quality of Life
Hint hint
Adjusted for inflation, federal spending per capita has increased approximately 39 percent since 1992, yet a new Reason-Rupe poll finds 79 percent of Americans believe the government's spending increases have reduced the quality of life or made no impact on the quality of life in the country during that time. Forty percent say the increases in federal spending over the last 20 years reduced the quality of life in the country and 39 percent say the increases had no impact on the quality of life. Just 17 percent feel federal spending increases improved the quality of life in America.
