The US Budget deficit and debt

1. how would you rank these twin problems in terms of the most serious problems we face as a country:

a. At or near the most significant problem we face; immediate action required

b. Near the top; among the new administration's top priorities

c. One among many serious problems

d. Something we have and can continue to deal with

e. Not a big deal

2. by most indications, balancing the budget will require some dramatic action for several years - that many affect all citizens. Are you willing to support significant reductions in government spending and increase in taxes over many years that will certainly be necessary to balancing the budget (which is only the first step In paying off the debt) ? 

3.While it is clearly a problem when a presidential candidate with the fewer votes wins the presidency, do you believe that the US needs to abolish or reform the Electoral College? Do you believe that states should have some role in electing a president or should the election be determined solely by a national popular vote?
