(You must have caught too many hockey sticks to the head. WE do not control the Congress, only the House. WE do not sign the bills into law, Obama does. Even if we controlled both Congress and the Presidency the things you demand would take time and most would be impossible to do.)

Prepare the necessary bills and send them to the big “O”s desk. If he vetoes them , re-vote the same bills and send to his desk again and again and again.

Between now and Jan 20, 2013 one of two things will happen.
Obama will sign the bills or he will be replaced. Don't be mind-numbed into not acting Mind-numbed Robot

I am in agreement with you. Perhaps you read too much into my comment.

This is what we MUST do, short term:
1. Renew the Bush tax cuts for EVERYBODY.

That is doable and following your recommendation if necessary but we will have a tough fight against the media, the Democrats in the Senate and President Obama. Certainly not a sure thing.
2. Cut spending in HALF (except DoD) by eliminating Depts of Education, Energy and HHS, plus EPA. Then CUT legislators pay in half and staffs in half.
What chance do you think any of those have, even doing it your way?
Then CUT the Pentagon down to size.
I don't know what is meant by that.
3. Eliminate foreign aid.
Some aid can be eliminated with enough public outcry but not all of it. Some of it is necessary to our security.
4. No automatic raises for legislators.
That could probably be done but no automatically and not easily.

Since number 2 has multiple improbable, if not impossible, tasks I would say my statement is correct. MUST be done immediately is out of the question.
