Survey Finds Broad Public Support For Vital Federal Programs

A new survey finds broad public support for vital federal services despite pressure to cut federal spending. But the survey itself may have missed the mark.

About seven in 10 respondents believe the federal government should devote more resources and manpower to food safety and border security, according to the survey, commissioned by the National Treasury Employees Union

 "The results strongly support the belief that government should invest more in resources and manpower for the important work federal employees do every day," said NTEU President Colleen Kelley  . "Regardless of party affiliation, respondents believe in the importance of adequate resources and manpower for vital public services and the need for the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share to retain those services."
