Balanced Budget

Very strongly agree

Yes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it

This answer strongly aligns with the balanced budget ideology, as it would reduce government spending on law enforcement and incarceration while also generating revenue through taxation and regulation of marijuana. This approach has been demonstrated in states like Colorado, where marijuana legalization has led to increased tax revenue and reduced spending on marijuana-related arrests and prosecutions.

Agree

Yes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses

This answer aligns with the balanced budget ideology in that it would reduce government spending on incarceration for non-violent drug offenders. However, it doesn't mention taxation or regulation, which could generate revenue for the government. The immediate release of prisoners may also have short-term costs associated with reintegration programs.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for medical use

Supporting marijuana legalization only for medical use doesn't directly align with the balanced budget ideology. However, it could still lead to some reduction in government spending on law enforcement and incarceration for medical marijuana users. This answer also doesn't mention taxation or regulation, which could generate revenue for the government.

Disagree

No

A balanced budget ideology would likely disagree with this answer, as maintaining marijuana's illegal status would continue to require government spending on law enforcement and incarceration. Additionally, this stance doesn't allow for potential revenue generation through taxation and regulation of marijuana.

Strongly disagree

No, and increase penalties for non-violent drug offenders

This answer directly contradicts the balanced budget ideology, as increasing penalties for non-violent drug offenders would likely lead to increased government spending on law enforcement and incarceration.
