Republicans signal a hard-line stance after election success (Good!)

Republicans interviewed on talk shows promised congressional investigations, an all-out effort to repeal health care reform, and steadfast opposition to any form of higher taxes.

When asked what they would do with their greater power, GOP legislators offered a hard-line agenda that left little room for middle-ground compromise.

Everyone I talk to says the same, it's not over, it's just beginning. The left thinks we're tired, done and not going to pay attention now that the election is over. They believe, this was just a pre-election movement similar to the likes of 'hope and change'. Au contraire, we are not college students fighting a cause one semester and grasping an econ class the next. We are real grown ups in the real world with real families. They are in for a rude awaking. Likewise, the GOP. We are their worst nightmare. The ruling class doesn't 'get' what's happening.

They will soon.

Oh, they know. They may put on a brave face for the public, but they know.

You can preach to the choir but you have to make the case in court, and you haven’t.

Facts are facts. For nearly 100 years, courts have allowed and government has utilized the ‘Power to Bracket’.

Your argument pathway may be viable but it is embryonic. The FairTax pathway is well designed and far along in development. The FairTax is also Constitutional along many lines including pre-1913 16th Amendment Excise Tax America and is uniformly applied which satisfies your interpretations of US Constitution uniformity.

People rationalize whatever they want/need to believe. My main point is that, when they need to rationalize disavowing the debt becomes overpowering—which it will—the arguments I've outlined will seem very compelling.
