----------------------------------------------------



A new survey from CBS News' 60 Minutes shows a vast majority of
Americans support raising taxes on the wealthy or cutting military
spending to help balance the national budget. In the survey, 61 percent
of respondents said they preferred new taxes on the rich, 20 percent
backed cuts to military spending, four percent said they would cut
Medicare, and just three percent said they would cut Social Security.
