    New poll: Voters are prepared to make compromises and sacrifices...

    A newly released poll by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation shows that voters overwhelmingly support bipartisan action to reduce our national debt, and are willing to make personal sacrifices to help achieve that goal. These responses paint a stark contrast with the political gridlock and polarizing rhetoric that we have seen in Washington recently — and are likely to see during the 2012 election cycle.

    Taxes | PGPF Fiscal Issue Primers

    Each year, some of the revenue the federal government collects comes from various taxes. In 2012, taxpayers paid almost $2.5 trillion, which the government used to partially fund $3.5 trillion worth of spending on Social Security, health care, and other programs in areas such as defense and education. The remainder of spending was funded through deficits.
