In addition, 56% of consumers polled thought that the government hasn???t done enough to help individuals in this time of economic downturn. When asked what steps the government should take to ensure financial stability for Americans, 88% cited protection of the Social Security System, 87% called for decreasing the national debt and 82% wanted affordable health care for all Americans.
