“Sunset all Federal regulations”

I think all laws should have some sort of sunset provision. Our founders thought that our liberty would be safe if laws required the House, Senate and president to agree before it became law. Unfortunately repealing a law ALSO requires the House, Senate and President to agree.

Also, our founders were so fearful of a standing army, they insisted that all appropriations for the military were limited to TWO years. How about that for all appropriations? Why should our liberty be infringed just because the congress of 2009 decided to pass an ongoing healthcare bill with its own separate appropriation? Don’t our current appropriation schemes have as much if not more power than a standing army?
