It would be like trying to rearrange the planets alphabetically. A fun exercise, but impossible to actually do.
It took the British Parliament centuries to reign in kings, but the power of the purse was the tool they used.
If Republicans don’t try to reform the federal government, they probably won’t succeed.
We may not get everything, but I believe the effort will be well rewarded.
I'm so glad that you are in a position to be proposing things up at the capital.
Have you already proposed this on the floor or are you on the list?
What?
Are you having this proposal made by proxy?
What?
Sooo....
I could send a letter to my Congressman and get an e-mail thank you sent by a staffer employed to send canned replies.
Or I could post my proposal here and maybe a few hundred people would read it, hopefully including one person actually likely to help bring my proposal into practice.
“I’m so glad that you are in a position to be proposing things up at the capital.”
I do what I can, which is to write down my thoughts and post them where maybe a few thousand people will read them.
Hopefully, one of them has politically useful skills.
OK, so you’re just venting.
This “proposal” is just some chat between pals.
Because you really aren’t in a position to be making any REAL proposals.
Maybe call it something else.

Yes, I'm still posting because of MAGIC.
So why were you trying to stalk me?
Are you some kind of pervert?
I’m not venting, the preferred practice here, I am proposing.
If you can do better, do better.
I'd like to see federal taxes reduced to keep the money in the respective states and then let the states tax their own residents to pay for the projects locally.
I recently heard a good argument to get rid of Congressional earmarks. The argument is that separation of powers gives the appropriation power to Congress and the spending power to the Executive. Congressional earmarks is really Congress appropriating the monies and then spending them, too, which is arguably unconstitutional.

Well, I'm not snooping into your profile page like a
perverted stalker, so I've got that going for me.
Why you so mad?
Are you pissed because you aren't allowed to submit proposals
before the House of Representatives? And that's MY fault some kind of way?
I research things and people as a matter of course.
I believe in understanding things and people.
I believe in teaching others to understand things and I encourage others to try to understand things.
“Why you so mad?”
My 64 years have taught me that anger is pointless.
Oh CRAP!
You think you are smarter than others and that they need
you to teach them because they so God-awful dumb?
Oh heck, you're a piece of work.
So how is it that you can cast yourself as superior to random
unknown persons on the internet that you have never met and know nothing about?
But you gonna TEACH 'em, huh?
Wow, look at you so superior and all without ANY data.
I'd keep that quiet. You might get profiled as a serial killer or something, mister superior.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kitty_Genovese
“In the early hours of March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese, a 28-year-old bartender, was raped and stabbed outside the apartment building where she lived in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens in New York City, New York, United States. Two weeks after the murder, The New York Times published an article erroneously claiming that 38 witnesses saw or heard the attack, and that none of them called the police or came to her aid.”
I was young at the time, but the firm belief that I should do something rather than rely on others was embedded in me back in 1964.
Have studied for some 60 years has made me a fairly smart person.
And one can teach in the private sector without a government license.
