I miss the old America. Sadly I doubt we will see it again.

I here ya. But I disagree. She'll be back, and we or our descendants will build her back better than before.

This Congress and this "President" have shown the need for a few reforms. Congressional term limits, limits on the size, in terms of pages or characters, of bills. Hard requirements on processes in Congress, rather than letting the foxes guard the hen house. And a requirement that eligibility for all offices, Congress and Executive, be proven, from source documents. Bans on federal payments to anyone except for services rendered or goods provided. Limits on who can vote. You don't pay taxes in x of the y years (3 of 4 , 1 of 2, and 4 of 6 sounds about right for the 3 federal offices) before an election, sorry, you can't vote in that election. A little quiz on the Constitution might be in order as well.
