1) End the FED
2) End the Withholding of Taxes – everyone would need to save and write a check
3) Move the deadline for filing to November.

It's an interesting suggestion. I like it.

Bad bill, glad it didn't pass.

Every law we need to restore our nation to economic sanity is already contained in the Constitution. With America in the hands of hostile and/or uninformed leaders, and a population that too often sees that hallowed document as a memo pad upon which to jot notes, the times are much too dangerous to be tinkering with amendments.

Thank you, TAC, for being on top of this. I will be sending this article to my Congressmen.

Remember, GDP goes up when the Fed pumps up the market.

The BBA would not bring anyone back to spending IAW Art 1, Sec 8. The BBA would effectively legitimatize the status quo with a single digit decrease in spending based on GDP. Spending would continue on unconstitutional programs and not address the real issues…too much taken from the productive and spent on the non-productive.

Are you a person or an empire?
