Why make it so difficult to get a decision on anything, if it is not necessary for accountability.......... Because it's next to impossible to undo anything. The best we can hope for in the way of correction is to add something else on top of whatever it was that was problematic. Better, IMO, to make it harder to do something in the first place.

There is nothing wrong with deficits. There isn't? You got any idea of how large the debt service is now? And how many decades it was from the last federal surplus to even just a reduction in the size of the deficit? And we have never even started on reducing the national debt; that is still growing because we never reached a budget surplus at all. How long do you think even the US can continue to put it on the credit card? I do not believe that Republicans are especially inclined to corporate welfare. True., the Dems have gotten rather good at that game too. However will line their campaign coffers. But the check on that is not a divided government, but the competition of an election. Nuts. People see you trying to cut out the subsidies that the companies and farms they work for live on and you don't get their vote. Come on, Neo. You're not that naive.
