Require the Presidential candidates to put forth a plan that actually has a chance of passing a divided congress.

Every one of the Republican candidate’s promises to cut taxes and cut the deficits, not one of them says how they will do it. The political will does not exist to make the cuts necessary to balance the budget without raising revenue. Congress already wants to back out of the automatic cuts they agreed to in order to get past the debt ceiling crisis they manufactured and they could not figure out a way to pay for the relatively small extension of the payroll tax cut.  It is not enough to say you are going to cut taxes and balance the budget. Neither party will have a super majority so we need to demand to see the plan that will actually pass both houses if we are going to allow them to making empty promises!
