Re: " I do not support the line item veto" But --- if you oppose ENDLESS accumulation of federal debts... (& for the purposes of this discussion I'll assume you do unless you say you FAVOR higher and higher structural deficits and national debt) --- then HOW DO YOU PROPOSE to solve that problem? For example: I oppose ever-higher national indebtedness. And I believe that (in order of most utility) these THREE PROPOSALS stand the best chances of solving or at least greatly reducing the structural problem of endless debt accumulation: 1) Balance Budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 2) Line Item Veto power extended to the Presidency. 3) PAYGO budgeting rules adopted by the Congress. I believe that #1 is BY FAR the most effective solution, and that the Balanced Budget amendment - combined with steady economic growth - hold the greatest hope for actually solving the massive problem. (But that #2 and $3 can be of some small, but still useful, help... and so I see no reason to be against either.) But... what do you propose for a "solution", tntpal?
