As you may know a special committee in Congress failed to meet a November deadline for making
recommendations to reduce the federal deficit. This means that starting in 2013 there would be automatic
cuts from the federal budget of six hundred billion dollars from the military budget and an equal total of six
hundred billion dollars in cuts from all non-military government programs and services.
Would you favor Congress moving ahead with this automatic set of cuts in the military and non-military
programs, would you favor Congress finding another plan to deal with the deficit that has more cuts, or
would you favor Congress finding another plan to deal with the deficit that has fewer cuts?
Favor moving ahead with automatic cuts ...................................................
Favor finding another plan to deal with the deficit that has MORE cuts .....

Study #10208c
Table 230
Q.20. As you may know a special committee in Congress failed to meet a November deadline for making recommendations to reduce the federal deficit. This means that starting
in 2013 there would be automatic cuts from the federal budget of six hundred billion dollars from the military budget and an equal total of six hundred billion dollars in
cuts from all non-military government programs and services.
Would you favor Congress moving ahead with this automatic set of cuts in the military and non-military programs, would you favor Congress finding another plan to deal with
the deficit that has more cuts, or would you favor Congress finding another plan to deal with the deficit that has fewer cuts?

Q.F8. If you added together the yearly income of all the members of your family who were living at home last year, what would the total be? I'm going to read some income
ranges, please stop me when I reach the range for your family--less than ten thousand dollars, between ten thousand dollars and twenty thousand dollars, between twenty
thousand dollars and thirty thousand dollars, between thirty thousand dollars and forty thousand dollars, between forty thousand dollars and fifty thousand dollars,
between fifty thousand dollars and seventy-five thousand dollars, between seventy-five thousand dollars and one hundred thousand dollars, between one hundred thousand
dollars and two hundred thousand dollars, or more than two hundred thousand dollars?
