Asked by Agala

What does this graph suggest about the costs and benefits of balancing the budget?

(Graph:
Only with spending cuts: 20%

Mostly with spending cuts: 30%

Equally with spending cuts and higher taxes: 32%

Mostly with higher taxes: 7%

Only with higher taxes: 3%)


The Percentages Represent The Percentage Of People Who Surveyed.
Answered by Ms. Sue
The most people wanted spending cuts and higher taxes.
Answered by Agala
More Specifically?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Spending cuts are better than higher taxes.
Answered by Reed
I don't know why the graph shows this. Is there an accompanying article that attempts to explain it?
Answered by Agala
No...
Answered by Reed
Then we can't read the minds of those people who wish to reduce spending, can we?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Reed -- apparently the graph's percentages are percentages of people who favor these methods of balancing the budget.

Agala -- What is the total percentage of people who favor spending cuts?
Answered by Agala
50%, But, What Are The Advantages For Spending Cuts and Taxes?
Answered by Ms. Sue
What do you think? The question is asked about balancing the budget.


Answered by Reed
But, again, WHY 50% of these people who were polled have reasons for their opinions, but the graph does not tell us those reasons. The "why" cannot be inferred from the graph.
