Financing 4 More Years

When Allstate/National Journal pollsters asked people to think ahead four years to the end of President Obama’s second term, 62 percent of respondents said their taxes would increase, and 51 percent said that overall government spending would increase. Only 26 percent felt that government spending on programs that help people like them would increase, and 36 percent said the gap in income between the rich and everyone else would expand.
