QUESTION:
---------
2004:
Please look at page [page] of the booklet.
Some people think the government should provide fewer
services even in areas such as health and education
in order to reduce spending. Suppose these people are at
one end of a scale, at point 1. Other people feel it is
important for the government to provide many more services
even if it means an increase in spending. Suppose these
people are at the other end, at point 7. And, of course,
some other people have opinions somewhere in between,
at points 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
Where would you place [the Republican U.S. house
candidate] (on this issue)?
