Abstract

This project is a correlational analysis of the relationship between government expendi tures and citizens' political orientations at the local level. It is based on the Urban Observatory data collected in the summer of 1970, and expenditure figures reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. Three general political attitudes (efficacy, trust, and satisfaction) are correlated with total per capita expenditures in nine large U.S. cities. Highly significant correlations are found for two of the attitudes, trust and satisfaction, with efficacy being more directly related to a citizen's socioeconomic status. The most interesting aspect of the relationships uncovered is their negative direction, a finding which is certainly consistent with the current public demands for fiscal conservatism at all levels of government.
