VERBATIM: According to a poll conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, most of the respondents want Congress to cut the overall size of government, but also devote more money to the most popular and expensive programs. Six in 10 U.S. adults say the government spends too much money. However, majorities also favor more funding for things like infrastructure, health care and Social Security.
