1. Employ the “Penney plan” immediately to get the government headed in the direction of being balanced in 5 years.
2. Convene the Article 5 convention using Levins Liberty Amendments as a basis to update the Constitution.
3. Strictly enforce the 10th Ammendment.
4. Repeal the seventeenth Ammendment.
5. Abolish IRS and replace it with one of the Flat Tax proposals.

Excellent list of priorities. But I'm as pessimistic as you. Still, we have to keep plugging.

And one way we do that is don’t cower and hide under the desk when the Dems issue forth with that tired old refrain “the Pubs are gonna shut down OUR absolutely essential government”!

Those 50 guys in the House you complain about are wanting their leaders to QUIT hiding under the desk and call their bluff! Months following the last “so called” shutdown led by Cruz the American People handed the Flubs the biggest electoral victory in the past 100 years! Bottom line is Donahue is jerking McConnells and Boehners chain, or something!
