Like I said... I'm more focused on possible SOLUTIONS to the ever-present and worsening problem of too big, too powerful, too intrusive, and too fiscally liberal and unconstrained central government.

Far less interested in spending time bemoaning 'how things got this bad' (excepting when such an analysis could potentially help to point the way to effective structural repairs and reforms to fix the problems and right the ship....)

Re: "Well this conversation has lately been about my response to #1." [Balanced Budget Amendment].

(Where you seem... how shall I put it to sum up? Somewhat 'less then enthused' with my suggestion? Yet have proposed no alternative solutions of your own to solve this huge problem? <G>)

Ah, well... on to the next....

Re: "What do you think about my response to #2?"

My suggestion for ripping out the entire federal tax code by it's roots - tossing the vast bulk of all the 'special tax preference items' and other loopholes out - and coming back with a new, fairer, less intrusive, and *lower rate* flat rate or modified flat rate system?

(You are for it?)
