Including, apparently, being able to pay for it. God, these people must want to bankrupt the country. It's like the old joke about the Reagan era, that they were putting the government in so much debt that there'd be no choice but to cut everything to zero. (But maintain high taxes to pay off the debt. Well done, sirs!)

Probably..

Yeah...they'd probably print out more money, then enact some half-assed,politically motivated plan to stimulate the economy, while sending more money overseas to other countries. God forbid they get rid of a lot of these pork-barreled and needless Congressional committees that each have the budget of a small buisness (Haven't we figured out the environmental impact of the Darter Slug yet...?Oops...wait a minute...they'd form a committee to study the impact of dissolving the committee...)Once again we'll be stuck footing the bill, while they pocket thousands and thousands of dollars they get from "friends", getting richer, while they think that getting us to pay for their projects will solve all the problems. What was that diet show's favorite line? "Stop the insanity"? Whatcha think? Should the US Government go on a Diet?
