| Yes | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
| Yes | In order to balance the budget, do you support reducing defense spending? | ||
| We have to withdraw from areas of little or no interest to the USA. Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||

| Yes | Do you support government funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, thermal)? | ||
| Yes | Do you support the federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| But we are going to have to move with caution. | |||
| Yes | Do you support repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| But it has to be replaced by something better. We pay sdulbe what most countries pay, which suggest there should be some cost cutting efforts. | |||
| Yes | Do you support the construction of a wall along the Mexican border? | ||

| Taxes must be raised to balance the budget,but mainly on the rich. Health care is going to be a hot topic over the next several decades, but it has to be paid for. We pay twice what other countries do which suggests some cost cutting is in order-not a strong suit for the Federal government. Educational costs are ugly, but i'm not sure what the cure is. |
