What If....
« on: December 12, 2007, 09:28:06 PM »
You could revise the Entire Constitution? What laws would you fix and what laws would you keep?

What we need is, IMHO:

Have Congress keep an eye on that national debt. If it gets to low, They vote and sign (by majority, of course) a document stating to pay the bills, directed at the President. Its sure as hell what we need right now.

Surely you mean "too high"?  

And I hope you would mean in relation to the GDP...because that's the real measure of how volatile the economy is.

No, what we need more then ANYTHING in the world is for the citizens to have a basic understanding of economics.  What Bush and Co. did was straight out of the Economics 101 play book.


And guess what... It worked.


The basics are that you can have either a Balanced Budget, or a Balanced Economy.  Balancing one over the other will work to the DIRECT DETRIMENT of the other.  Basically, you can balance the budget, but the economy WILL TANK as a result.
