Also, this: Senator Paul Co-Sponsors Term-Limit Legislation Legislation to hold Members of Congress to two terms in the Senate, six terms in the House WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senator Rand Paul (Ky.) today announced his co-sponsorship of a constitutional amendment placing term limits on Members of the U.S. Congress. The legislation, S.J. Res. 1, which was introduced by Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, would place a limit on the amount of time a Member of the U.S. House or Senate may serve in office to a maximum of 12 years per chamber. “In fulfilling yet another promise I made to the people of Kentucky, I am co-sponsoring this term-limit legislation to reduce the politics as usual in Washington,” Sen. Paul said today.

Ahhh....the Fair Tax, like Huckabee. I'm warming up to that approach myself, even though it didn't seem to me that the Fair Tax, as proposed back at inception, would likely raise enough taxes to support the four most popular government expenditures.....defense, SS, Medicare and Medicaid....as they exist now. I'm warming up to it simply on the basis of it's straightforward simplicity and because, like Rand says, what we have now is just crazy.
