They were actually trying recently.
You don't trust them any further than you can throw them, but you trust them to rewrite the whole thing?
Another in a long, long list of failed PrisonPlanet predictions.
Not here... but elsewhere there's India. Czechoslovokia. Bulgaria. Portugal. Iran. Georgia. Ukraine. etc etc.
Time will tell. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut on occasion.
What are some more options then? (I don't want that to sound like I'm being confrontational. I really am open to more ideas and thoughts) I think it's pretty dang clear that they (politicians) in Washington aren't listening.
The fix is we stay obedient and keep trusting in the system and keep voting.
In order to condition an animal against certain behaviors, you have to determine what that animal dislikes. You have to time that disliked event to occur as close to the abberant behavior as possible. You also have to link the disliked event to the abberant behavior. What we need to do now is determine what would cause a Congresscritter to cringe at the very mention of it, that could also be timed so the end result was closely aligned to their vote.
Fiscal Conservatives Barred from Supercommittee (Updated)
http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/fiscal-conservatives-barred-supercommittee_581921.html
The debt ceiling deal will pass the Senate early this afternoon. No suspense there. But the vote will be worth watching for another reason: Three Republican Senate sources tell TWS that senators who vote against the deal will be ineligible to serve on the so-called “supercommittee” for deficit reduction that the legislation creates.
While there’s certain logic to such a policy, it could be self-defeating. Excluding those who vote against the debt deal will ensure that some of the most fiscally conservative members of the Senate Republican caucus, including most of its freshmen, will be reading about the committee’s activities in the newspaper rather than guiding its decisions. Among those who have already declared their opposition to the deal: libertarian-leaning senators Mike Lee and Rand Paul; Jim DeMint, the aggressive fiscal hawk from South Carolina; conservative reformers Ron Johnson from Wisconsin and Pat Toomey from Pennsylvania; the ranking member on the Senate Budget Committee, Jeff Sessions; and Florida’s Marco Rubio, already one of the highest-profile conservatives in Congress.
More worrisome for conservatives, however, is that private whip counts in the Senate found that some 20 Republicans expressed support for the proposals that came out of the Gang of Six. And while many of the components of that plan have merit as individual policy proposals, the package involves compromises on taxes anathema to most conservatives. Picking a Gang of Six member – or supporter – would further antagonize conservatives skeptical of the debt ceiling deal.
