Is this idiot more idiotic than the other idiots ? ...

[Vern Humphrey]

you know as well as I , that the Gov't will likely never balance the budget,

nothing in it for them,

Try this:

The Balanced Budget Amendment

1. If the Federal debt is higher at the end of the calendar year than it was at the beginning of the calendar year, or the United States shall default on its obligations, the budget is not balanced.

2. If the budget is not balanced, Congress shall take a temporary twenty percent pay cut for five years. This money, and all other public money due to members of Congress, plus twenty percent of all other income, from any source, public or private, shall be placed in an interest-bearing account. If the budget is balanced at the end of the fifth year, the money with interest shall be returned to the members of Congress. If the budget is not balanced, the money shall be forfeited to the Treasury, and the cuts and taxes on Congress shall be permanent. For the next five years there shall be a further twenty percent cut under the same rules. This process shall continue until the budget is balanced.

3. The power to tax is exclusively reserved to the people, and no tax or other revenue-enhancing measure shall be created, and no existing tax or other revenue-enhancing measure shall be increased except by a vote of the majority of the people at a regularly scheduled Federal election.

4. The highest rate of the income tax will not be more than twenty times the lowest rate, and if there is any level of income not taxed, or for which the taxes are rebated under any pretext, the lowest rate will be deemed to be zero, and no one will pay income tax.

5. In time of war or grave emergency, the people may suspend the requirement for a balanced budget by majority vote in a Federal election, but no such suspension shall be in effect for more than two years.

Oh God not that again. Item #2: "the punishments shall continue until morale improves".

Does Vernon realize that the first things to go over the side will be a giant standing army and payments to retirees? No I don't think he does.

Also, someone please tell Vernon (and Allen, etc.) that the new cowpoke is Boggs in drag.

[Allen]

The federal budget will no doubt never be balanced again mostly due to clinton and obama's cuts to the military that put us near a 3rd world nation status. Not only are we having to catch up armament wise but with technology as well. Plus obama supported his Taliban buddies and relatives with taxpayer money.

Not quite true and I might as well let the cat out of the bag. I am a relative of Sam and no, he won't be coming back to this place. Last week his computer fried, died and laid on it's side. He got a new one and said he was done with CSP. Personally I don't see how he had time with his "retirement" and all. Working on his new home, security for his church and now counseling since his pastor joined the Navy. His part time job and his three small companies that he runs, helping his wife with her charity quilt work and her teaching beginning quilting @ the center. I might stick around and watch and then again maybe I won't.

Boggs your playful joke was genuinely funny and no harm done. No need to take this all that seriously. If you are going to talk about Nazis all the time then you can expect to get called Adolph. Perfectly within the rules of engagement. Yes there are serious topics and strong feelings but this is an internet forum so things can only go so far.
