Nice list. As someone pointed out, securing our borders needs to be included, even though the House did pass a bill already.

Keep it there until we get it done.

Also, sadly missing is fundamental tax reform.

You're just not going to energize a broad spectrum of the electorate without the promise of the elimination of the IRS and the income tax.

People are sick of rearranging the deck chairs of the Titantic.

Bring back the Balanced Budget Amendment.

ha ha ha ha ha ha You have to be kidding. I'll settle for them just slowing down the battleship. Even rearrangement of the deck chairs would be an improvement at this stage.

Until a majority of Republicans remember Reagan's "Government IS the problem" attitude, mesures like this are doomed to failure.

It's all about pandering, pork and collecting the Commission campaign donation. The hell with the country and the American people. They have their reelection and retirement to worry about.

[ The Contract with America Lives ]

No it doesn't.. Americans are basically socialists and are getting more socialist.. Pence is urinating up a rope.. Heroic effort to be sure.. The weight of the academic socialist brain wash (of the prospective leaders) in the countrys colleges ensures a socialist outcome.. Socialism is being capitalized through democracy.. The massive Mexican insurgency encouraged by both MOST republicans and ALL democrats ensures more socialism..

Republican leaders could care less about democrat voter fraud -OR- massive Mexican(and other nationality) insurgencys.. In Washingtom D.C. there is a CONTRACT AGAINST AMERICA by BOTH parties..

How about the Dept of the Interior ? Why is the federal government still running the Indians' affairs ?

It significantly reduces the size and scope of three federal agencies: Departments of Education, Energy and Commerce

This is music to my ears. Praise the Lord and may they be successful!

Have you lost your mind??? the balance budget amendment is bad for several reasons:

1)Makes constitution a programatic document, which it is not.(except for 18th amandment repealed by 21st)

2)make raising taxes a constitutinal issue.

Yes, and it requires politicians to make tough decisions.

While we're on a roll let's go ahead a trim the executive branch back to a State Department, War Department, Treasury Department, and possibly a Department of Justice.

Certainly, moderates' knees will tremble in fear at the thought of making hard decisions.

Well we can be certain that Dubya is freaking out... he may actually have to use his veto!!!

Nice thread.

Glad there's a good man like Pence that hasn't been run-off yet.
