"Most Americans, if you ask them, are quite supportive of federal aid, and they think it's about 20 percent of the federal budget. When you ask them how much it should be, they think, not that much, about 10 percent. When you tell them that it's less than 1 percent of the budget, they're shocked," said Stephen M. Colecchi, director of the Office of International Justice and Peace at the USCCB.
