Now you go beyond the slippery slope into the pit of mob rule.
This is like having two wolves and a lamb voting on the dinner menu. A broad enough 'gimme' bill will leave the rest of us out in the cold, and all sorts of amendments like summarily executing cigarette smokers, or doubling property tax on single family dwellings, or making all firearms illegal, could be tacked on.
Sure there are risks - like having John Kerry run for president against George Bush. And, even though an astonishing majority of Americans have no clue about budgets, economics and the like, I have reached the point at which I trust the American voter to do the right thing much more than I trust the lying thieves we elected to represent our interests.
Plus, it would likely force Congress to reveal all of those "off-the-table" items that fund shadow agencies and schemes that we aren't supposed to know about but pay for.
This stuff has got to stop. And, since our elected representatives don't want to do the job we sent them to WA., DC to do, we'll do it for them and take back some of the extraordinary salary they award themselves.
That's captalism and business at work!! And the members of Congress need to learn about those things.
