My top 2 favorites...

i. Prohibit any public funding of advocacy groups such as ACORN, no matter what it or its affiliate organizations rename themselves...

i. Eliminate the Department of Education and restore schools to local control as specified in the constitution.

My least favorite...

j. Pass a Congressional reform act which includes the following provisions:
i. Term Limits: 12 years only, in any capacity...

Unless and until we reduce the size of the federal government, I do NOT want the bureaucrats to be running the place, and with term limits, every freshman class would be at a disadvantage against the well-protected, heavily unionized federal government workers.

“Unless and until we reduce the size of the federal government, I do NOT want the bureaucrats to be running the place, and with term limits, every freshman class would be at a disadvantage against the well-protected, heavily unionized federal government workers.”

Are you forgetting the massive problem with entrenched, bought off, well protected elected government bureaucrats. Term limits would prevent the accumulation of federal power. That is a good thing. It would also return the citizen statesman/stateswoman idea of people coming out of the private sector to serve the nation, with the expectation of returning to the public sector.

I think if we have responsive citizen politicians, we’ve got little to worry about with these public unions. We will then put them in their place.

Then strip the federal government workers of their protections and their union.

I don't get a pension from my job and I have to pay for federal government workers pensions to boot?

The minute the question is framed as an us versus them, the federal government workers versus the working stiff in the private sector, that's when the wheels come off of the Federal gravy train.

Enough is enough, no goddammed pensions for any of these useless bastards.
