I have a modest proposal.
Start an initiative immediately to make elected officials financially responsible for any debt increase after the date they were seated.

If there is any deficit spending whatsoever, they must refund all of their salary at the end of each year, plus interest.

In case anyone worries that no one will run for office, fear not.
All legislators who voted against the deficit proposals are exempt.

As for the others? If they are so stupid as to believe that deficit spending has no costs, they are probably too stupid to realize that they are on the road to personal ruin first.

Word gets around fast, when they are answerable after the first year.

I call the Initiative, in plain English :

"The Legislator Accountability Act of 2011"

It's hilarious!
