American voters are concerned about the country’s national debt, which has ballooned over the past decade, with many expressing worries about the $1.7 trillion spending bill that President Joe Biden signed into law last month, according to a recent survey by Rasmussen Reports.
When asked how worried they were about the U.S. national debt, which currently stands at $31 trillion, 76 percent of respondents said they’re concerned about the situation, with 53 percent claiming to be “very concerned.” Only 21 percent weren’t concerned about the debt size.
Politically, 87 percent of Republicans, 73 percent of unaffiliated voters, and 67 percent of Democrats were somewhat concerned about the issue. A total of 69 percent of Republicans, 53 percent of unaffiliated voters, and 38 percent of Democrats admitted to being “very concerned” about the debt.
When asked about the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill, only 45 percent said they “somewhat approve” of the legislation. Among Democrats, 73 percent approve of the bill. However, almost 46 percent of Democrats also agreed that the bill is a “monstrosity” and “disaster for our country,” while only 32 percent “strongly” agreed with it.
Overall, 61 percent of total respondents either somewhat or strongly agreed with this stance. The survey was conducted among 1,000 likely U.S. voters between Jan. 2 and Jan. 4.
On Dec. 31, 2021, the federal debt was $29.62 trillion. It rose to $31.42 trillion by Dec. 30, 2022, which is an increase of $1.8 trillion in a year.
Why now being worried? Why not when Bush was spending 1 billion a day in the early part of the War on Iraq? Why not Barry? Why not Trump??
