The sensible alternative is ending SSA, downsizing the military to focus on R&D and not procurement, removing religious exemptions from taxes, closing tax expenditures for the wealthy, and ending the Bush Tax Cuts on the wealthy as well.
Actually, it's removing restrictions on labor organizing, legalizing filesharing and marijuana, reducing the defense budget, ending corporate subsidies and corporate personhood, getting rid of eminent domain and switching to the aforementioned geoist tax policy. This would be a great green/libertarian coalition platform but sadly is too radical to make it in the generally futile world of modern US electoral politics.
Also wouldn't balance the budget as much as mine would. No reason not to integrate the two, however.
