No lifeboat. [View all]

It's high time the GOP has to actually suffer for their intransigence.


I hope all the elected dems turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the GOP as they twist in the wind.

It's also time for us to add some "misery" to their little buffet.

We should add to any further legislation, a provision that makes payment of debts AUTOMATIC (like it used to be).


If something is legislated, it's guaranteed to be paid for, with NO further legislating necessary...same for raising the limit.

The budget process needs to be put back to the way it used to be as well..

Appropriation committees should have a finite amount of time to reconcile the budget sent EVERY YEAR by the White House. If it's not ALL finished by a certain date, NO OTHER legislation can take place....except for disaster relief.
