oh, i've been in that club for a while now. It's just the fact that it's not even hidden anymore that boggles the mind.
To quote LawDog, "What would I do if I were elected President...."
Granted, it'd be more like "what would I do if I were elected Dictator..." But I'd take a flamethrower to the federal budget. No "surgical cuts," no "drastic measures," oh, we're talking cuts of Biblical proportions... Any office that wasn't specifically allowed for in the constitution? Gone. Any spending that wasn't specifically allowed for in the constitution? Gone. My goal would NOT be to balance the budget. My goal would be to get this country completely out of debt in 4 years, provided the congress critters didn't impeach me first. Somewhere in there the current tax code would get completely scrapped and replaced with a flat tax. No one is exempt from it. Not churches, not schools, not non profits, no one. Probably something like a 10% flat tax. No loopholes, no tax shelters, if you earn money in this country, it's taxable. No sending it overseas to avoid it.
This would of course send everyone into a complete and utter frothing rage....
Granted, it'll never happen....
But one can dream....
