"...You mention an oversight - a super majority - correct me if I am wrong, but didn't that majority bring us obamacare?..."

No, the Dems did that with simple majorities in both houses plus a Dem President. Even now, tax law is not easily changed. Perhaps *super majority* is the wrong choice of words...but I believe that a HUGE amount of congressional oversight with constitutional application at every turn in the road is called for whenever *they the lawmakers* want to stick it to *we the people.

It's that old "taxation without representation" thing....

Yes, with emphasis on the word HUGE. I think OUR governmental officials need a good spank from We the People so they pay attention to us and not their careers. Maybe when they are voted out of office, they will have time to reflect on their sins against Americans - or maybe not. In any case, middle Americans are NOW aware we have to be dilligent in holding their feet to the fire on EVERYTHING that involves us because they proved they are not out for our best interest i.e. taxation without representation.
