If you want to balance the budget, stop paying the senators, representatives, governors, and other officials until all the other expenses are covered. In other words, the president gets paid last, out of whatever is left over after paying everything else.Melissahttp://brianjhooverqd.wordpress.com/2012/09/15/what-you-should-do-to-build-bigger-muscles-762357/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-25902180922948339882012-10-24T10:52:23.864-04:002012-10-24T10:52:23.864-04:00You just put into words something I've been ob...You just put into words something I've been observing for many years but never wrote down.

That is the nub of the problem. All of the power, graft, corruption, personal wealth enhancement and cronyism flows from control of the committees. Republicans were blissfully unaware of this for decades until the Newt insurrection of '94. Now, both parties realize that control of the committees is the only reason to stay in government. The result has been an ever escalating and increasingly vicious war where the battles take place every two years and battle prep is continuous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-59982306629491549102012-10-18T20:42:59.659-04:002012-10-18T20:42:59.659-04:00No more God Damn Taxes!

Just cutting social programs is no longer enough. <br /><br />The problem here is that any politician that suggests cutting programs, especially SS and Medicare, will quickly find himself unelected. <br /><br />Similarly, raising taxes is a tough sell, unless you convince people that the people to be taxed is the other guy.
