I was thinking that the best way would be a word limit. Say, a million
words of law at the State level, the same for local, and perhaps half
a million words of law at the Federal level.

That way, if they want to pass a new law after the limit is reached,
they have to find something else to remove.

Social Security Reform died. Renewed offshore and inshore oil
exploration blocked. Medicare reform replaced by a prescription drug
program that was more than the GOP wanted but less than they feared
Dems might get if they didn't pass it. Fundamental tax reform studied
to death and nothing done.

The last 4 years have been little more than housekeeping with no major
programs advanced beyond committee.

And this is a good thing.

Not fixing broken **** is a "good thing"?

Okay, but next time I hear you bitching....

I understand where you are coming from with that but there is one
significant problem. The country would become so unpredictable that no
business could function. The economy likes stability. The founding fathers
did not design the system to include a full time legislature. They need to
meet for a limited time every year and then get the hell back to the real
world.

230 that time I still had the 6 in my head.

A verb, Senator! We need a verb!

Well, you're still wrong; it's 230.

Get a cheap calculator...or a pencil and paper.

Hell, use your fingers and toes.

The top fifty percent of wage earners pay 97% of the total amount of federal
income tax collected. That's after Bush's tax cuts for "the rich." Before,
the top fifty percent of wage earners paid only 95%.

The Dems don't care a whit about the poor, they just want
their votes. To that end the current tax system is tweaked
to transfer money to the poor. That is why the "rich" [read
college grads with jobs] pay 75% of the revenue and the poor
pay less than 10%.
