All laws are subject to revision. Both through acts of Congress and conference committees.

Or it gets revised a few years later to make it even more worse.

Ya know, everybody around here has such great hope for the Tea Party Rep's in the House and hopefully soon the Senate and Executive.

Not me. What Sam giveth with one hand, he taketh away with the other. They'll make noises about cutting this tax over here, AND THEY WILL!

Unfortunately, it'll just go into a black box over there and it'll be spent on that law clear over there.

That's what is happening/has happened, to the TARP. I'd be surprised if ANY of the funds were returned to the Treasury to pay down the TARP funds. That trillion dollars is all spent and we the taxpayers are on the hook for it.

Trust the govt? Even with GOP in charge????

not on your life. I think the whole thing is going to collapse eventually, simply because it's IMPOSSIBLE to get them to stop spending.

How about my "practical solution" to expediture reduction?

It's called shoot, shovel, and shut up.
