Focus our study

I am okay with the formulation of the question either way. My concern is not about whether the opinions will be swayed by showing what the other percentages of countries are, it is about people saying they should increase or decrease defense spending, when it may not be politically feasible. Sure, showing them %, could inform their opinion about how much they should spend and get some interest as to whether they want to spend more or less on defense, and if thats all we want to accomplish with the question i am fine with it. I just thought we should take the question a bit further, seeing whether or not they want to increase defense relative to what else we spend on. Then we get at the heart of whether they are truly interested in increasing spending or not because they value other things in the budget. I just think with a reformulation of the question, we could ask both if they interested in defense spending, and if they value it relative to what else we spend money on, but they first question just looks at whether people are want to in increase or decrease defense spending, not whether or not they value it based on what else we spend on. But if i'm outweighed by the majority, I don't have any other concerns than this.
