It must be reelection time.

Strong words for something you can’t get passed and signed. Hey Don, do you still think it’s up to the courts to decide if a bill is constitutional?

Much love,
A Conservative

Every law / federal regulation should / must pass Constitutional Muster
...no exceptions. and Repeal the 16th & 17th Amendments:
16th__Allows the federal government to collect income tax
17th__Establishes the direct election of United States Senators by popular vote.

Are you crazy? Civilization would crumble, dogs would sleep with cats, and my hair would go whiter if we were to undo ANY rules. It would make the individual responsible for his own life!!!

less regulation = greater liberty/freedom

Less regulation = fewer lawsuits, more innovation and experimentation, more entrepreneurs.

Less regulation = leass costs for applications, environmental impact analysis, costly permits and reporting, fewer bureaucrats and fewer enforcement agents. What is not to like?

Nice idea, but it would never happen, for the simple fact that an entire army of beauracrats justify their existence and maintain power by these regulations. Any attempts to kill their livelihood or those who profit from those regulations will be ran down and crushed by the system.

Just as important, repeal every amendment made to the former Constitution since 1900...

Repealed regulations turn the economy free...Repealed amendments turn the citizenry free...

I’d vote to repeal everything back to Thomas Jefferson.

The Alaskan however might make a better more simplistic case by passing a bill to returning the Federal legal apparatus to the status it was in say in 1998.

Hes wrong in thinking deregulation of wall-street led to the crash, it was federal interference int he market from Federal Reserve lending to Fanny and fried active interference.

Frankly Walstreet will,need to crash again so that the manipulators can lose their money.

We need to start with the mid night credit modernization act, and return banking to banking.

Time for a good old system reboot. I like this idea, but would go back before the peanut farmer took office.

... for the simple fact that an entire army of beauracrats justify their existence and maintain power by these regulations. Any attempts to kill their livelihood or those who profit from those regulations will be ran down and crushed by the system.

And if we don't cut, the nation will die.

Bump for the gentleman from Alaska!

[Georgia Girl 2]

Lets run this guy for President.

The Clean water, clean air and Endangered Species Acts need to be redrafted. They have become intolerable. We are begining to see some real cracks in rural people’s willingness to submit to what has become an oppressive federal and state government.

Imperial Rome (Washington DC) is a parasitic entity and strangling all the provinces via over taxation to feed its degenerate appetitive. Washington DC is recession proof. Add over regulation to the ongoing abuse of hard working American entrepreneurs and those who work for them

[dennisw]

The Federale Gov’t is a huge jobs program for drones and idiots. It is a huge affirmative action jobs program for blacks, Hispanics and women and gays too. These are your Federale overlords. We are paying taxes to keep all these idiots living high off the hog. The nightlife in DC is tremendous, I have a relative who just visited. No recession there! Ever!

Sure we need some Federal functions such as guarding our border and defending America against attack. But really 70% of Federale workers should be fired and life would improve for the private sector workers and employers
