So the government is then FORCED to do something simply because the people said so. Well, that sounds good in theory, but when you get some people suggesting mandates simply because of a "We want one and we want it NOW!" mentality - and not give the rest of us people the information regarding costs, etc.....then the theory is flawed.
People need to do the fiscal groundwork so the rest of us can make a more informed vote.
I agree with you... but this is not the solution to the problem... the solution is for we the people punt these issues back to the legislature to work out.... and retain our rights set them straight when they go astray...
