Tom Coburn calls for a national Constitutional Convention http://washingtonexaminer.com/tom-coburn-calls-for-a-national-constitutional-convention/article/2534588 "Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., explained to a town hall of his constituents that he wanted to call a national Constitutional...

For just a second or two I thought you said financially attached to the issue. I guess that would lead to emotionalism though, unless he's a hard core trader like us. *cough, cough* For a time I speculated that his part in the AGW episode was payback on the American people responsible for...

I've concluded that they are not failed policies in their minds.

Waste, fraud, inaccurate accounting, etc. That's the shit that gets under my skin. If they would treat it like it was their own money... though in a strange sort of irony, they probably think it is their money, so why not just buy votes with it. Most of the people who are in congress are...

Interesting idea. Would their great benefits package be reduced or limited as well? I'd go for that. And I would make it mandatory that they are not immune from any laws they foist upon us.

The only problem I have with this analogy is that I don't want my reps and senators thinking of their term as employment. I think that is part of the problem. The only experience I would require is learning what the constitution actually means and abiding by the oath taken to protect it.

I believe that is the intent of the ideas in Levin's latest work.

Having an emergency fund is a good idea. I have one of those, too. Problem with congress is; they would use emergency funds for non emergencies. Especially around election time.

Perhaps we should wait until we see the entir idea. In my budget, I limit spending here so I can increase it there, and I never go into debt to increase my spending (used to, and it wasn't pretty). I understand your point, but currently I believe spending in the gov is flat out reckless.

Interesting article. If he's correct, a lot of theories floating around are just that...theories. I was under the impression that the fed was intentionally devaluing the dollar. Does this article challenge that? I ask that because it states he's basically ignored the fluctuations in...

I think term limits is the best, and possibly most important idea. If we had those, perhaps the other proposals would not be as necessary.

It's all good, Ricter. I was adequately warned before I ever came to the P and R forum. I've just reached the age where I prefer to watch flame wars rather than participate in them. I'd be lying if I told you some weren't outright entertaining, though.

Mark Levin's new book; "The Liberty Amendments" http://www.marklevinshow.com/common/more.php?m=56&r=42&mode=3&is_corp=0 From following link: http://cnsnews.com/commentary/l-brent-bozell-iii/levin-rescue ..."Enter Dr. Mark Levin with his new book, "The Liberty Amendments: Restoring...

Exactly my point. If one can work, but has opted for food stamps and welfare instead, one can certainly do those jobs. I enjoyed very few of the jobs I had in my pre-navy years, but I did them. They didn't pay well, but I paid my bills. One of those jobs was de-tasseling corn under the...

Let me see if I understand you. If we don't give them any benefits, they won't want to come. But what about jobs? What if we penalize big companies for hiring illegals? What if those jobs are given to people here (US citizens) who are on welfare (assuming they are capable and just...

True, but I find it ironic that literally everything I buy is getting more expensive at the same time the fed is devaluing the dollar and saying there is no inflation. Sounds like a justification to me. I know some of the ways inflation is calculated excludes food and energy. I know that...

For a second I thought you were talking about our politicians in Washington. Same difference, no?

You need to get a sense of humor, Ric. You simply aren't capable of seeing sarcasm. Let me fix it for ya. Did you ever consider that they may want you to believe the deflation threat to justify the endless printing? No? No surprise there. See Piezoe's comment regarding deflation. I...

Shit, I'm still trying to figure out why the people here who hate their country (mostly the entire left wing of this country) just don't pack up their fucking shit and immigrate to the countries they want to turn us into.

Alright! That means my gas and food bill should be lower... *opening budget* ..."wait a second....something's not right here, not right at all....
