Rep. Bob Good, R-Va., told Just the News that the previous ban on earmarks should be resurrected. “It’s another step in the wrong direction.
It does nothing to cut our spending, it does nothing to secure our border, and worse than that, you mentioned, you’ve got nearly 7,000 earmarks for about $13 billion.”

Outlaw so-called "Omnibus Bills".

Allow only single issue bills.

The founders did not intend congress ro become a mechanism to extort money from productive citizens under threat of penalties
and use the confiscated wealth to enrich elected officials, their friends and special interest groups.

IIRC that is what MTG has been trying to do.

Our government is so corrupt and broken, can it be saved?

Good morning, IM.
