Heck, I'm still waiting for my Peace Dividend, though by now I'd settle for a big piece of ACORN pie.
Talk about punitive! Who wants to bet that this clown will want an annual piece of the assets in his next brilliant proposal?
Put down the fascist bong, Charlie, and crawl back under your statist rock. Jeez.
Systemically Dangerous Institutions? This applies to the House and Senate - I wonder if the man realizes...
We need to start to work hard to create the awareness of Government itself as the big corporation that it has become. It does everything that a corporation does in the way of exercising control. The only thing it lacks is productivity. If it can be seen as a corporation which should comply to all the rules it expects of the other corporations, then these rules, or many of them, could be applied to the government itself.
I nominate Congress as the first entity to be designated an SDI, and the Executive branch as the second. I especially like the idea of the annual audits, applied to both the entities as a whole and to each Congressman and Senator and to each member of the Executive branch who reports directly to a Cabinet-level official and above. That includes all the Czars - we have more Czars than Russia.
If they start with ACORN and its affiliates then it’s a go.
