2. Depends. Are they alone or do they have to negotiate with the other side.
I have no doubt Democrats have better goals than Republicans. What I have no trust in is their will to fight for these goals.

After the president said it was good to have the biggest spending cuts in many years when the economy needs more money and is now busy announcing his MAIN goal is to cut spending, I am not exactly sure why I should feel confident we will still have what is necessary for those who needs help.

4. Where's the third choice? Neither of the current two parties are protecting the
programs that former Democrats worked so hard to get for the American people.

5. I voted Democrats because at this point it is the difference between
a known criminal and a suspected criminal. I'll take the suspect over the know. I am not calling Obama a criminal. Just using that as an example of why I voted the way I did. Also because I know the political angle here - there is an argument out there about who won the compromise. Politically I do not want us to have to deal with the idea that our candidate is a weak leader.

6. Better question might be "do you trust either party, even moderately, on the budget?"
We ask a question that doesn't actually is tasked for a good result just an opinion on the arguably least worse option.

My guess is the vast majority are making an oppositional, binary, and fear driven.

Maybe instead of disseminating a box you could press to shed some light.

8. None of the above
I see two parties full of people concerned with protecting their own jobs and to keep money flowing to themselves from the rich at the cost of the middle class and the poor.

There hasn't even been a simple examination of how we got here. The Republicans have put out a story that the problem is Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, and Democrats seem to have accepted that!

10. Neither
They both spend money like drunk sailors. The only difference is WHAT they spend it on. As long as they continue to spend more then we give them we are ALL Fucked.
