Silly you, next you would want a law like that. Will the Gov allow members to just sent an IOU for our taxes? If citizens rack up lots of debt, they can not print money and say all ok.

Congress is one of the three co-equal branches of government. The White House can do nothing but shame them. The voter can do something, but that is unlikely since it’s not important enough to fire them every two or six years. The other strategy is to get pork and non-contentious elements in the late federal omnibus budget, then come back to the well for critical items, such as infrastructure, again replete with pork. City, county and state legislatures do the same. Some day our young people will hate for what we have done to them.

I prefer ignorance, Jim. Stupid would imply knowing this and still accepting it. “You can’t fix stupid”, ignorance can be remedied.

They quit taking a vacation every few days, they'd have it done.
