Remember that 2012 budget alternative Senate Democrats have been so fidgety about releasing to the public?

Cool your jets, the GOP only control the House,and that for only the last four months. The Dems control the Senate and have for over four years. Obama controls the WH and has for over two years. This is going to take time. There is no quick fix.

How about some comments on that...
The great Milton Friedman came up with the idea. It really depends on how the amendment is written. A few states already have one, so use the wording that is already proven.
I didn’t know that,learn something new everyday!
