Most American voters want to see the federal government make spending cuts across the board, but those same voters doubt such cuts will take place, according to a recent Rasmussen Poll. The survey found that only 39 percent of likely voters think it is somewhat likely that government will significantly reduce spending while 57 percent see spending cuts as unlikely. Eleven percent believe spending cuts are very likely in the near future and 20 percent believe that spending cuts are not likely at all. That group has strong grounds for its disbelief…..President Obama supported the creation of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, an entirely new agency most successful at making government bigger and more expensive. In the negotiations surrounding the “fiscal cliff,” not a single federal agency or bureaucracy, however useless or counterproductive, was even on the table.
