Most people probably don't give it much thought which would explain their
inconsistent answers.

I agree with you that most people don't know much about the budget and that most people don't give the budget much thought.

I'm more cynical than you are, however, regarding the inconsistency. I'd attribute it to their wanting to reduce their tax bill by cutting the parts of the budget that benefit someone else while leaving what they consider worthwhile or beneficial to them alone. Every citizen could cut the budget to reduce taxes. They'd just cut it in contradictory ways.
