Indicate which proposals you support (if any) for balancing the federal budget.

In order to balance the budget,

But not a mandatory excuse to slash vital support for those American's in need, social security, medicaid and medicare. these must remain governmental responsibilities and not subject to privatization. Balanced budget is a priority but not an absolute.

citizens United must be reversed by legislation or court action. corporations are not people.

Treason is about the only one I would support it for. I do not want my government in the business of killing people. I do not support the right to assassinate american citizens on suspicion as a right of the executive.

with a caveat. I do not like standardization and requiring performance to obtain grants and funding. this perpetuates the under funding of low income and minority schools. I support untying the hands of teachers and greatly increased funding for education. the vast majority of our Ph.D. candidates now come from abroad.

I support civil unions and domestic partnerships with equal rights as married people, but marriage is a term of art that generally should involve different sex people.

There is no credible evidence that they are seeking one. No more false flag wars for oil and empire.

Too great a potential for abuse by big banking interests. social Security is a done deal paid for by the people and not a gift of the government. Let politicians have to participate in the system and see how quickly it gets fixed.

Education We can not afford to be at the bottom of the heap in turning out young people with the potential to succeed on an international basis.

Social Security Medicaid, Medicare take the money back from the thieves and fully fund them
