Abstract:

Americans from all social classes and both political parties have become less supportive of domestic spending and more supportive of defense spending since 1973. Contrary to assertions, Americans do not desire simultaneous tax cuts and spending increases. (See also Lipset and Schneider, No. 1923??)
