If any natural born citizen of this country wishes to permanently move to another country, and denounce their citizenship over our government policies, I think the government should consider paying for their one-way airline ticket out of the country with a "Thank You" and a "don't let the door hit you in your ass as you leave". These individuals just need to sign an agreement that if they wish to later return, they reimburse the government 1,000% of the cost (cash only please) of the ticket, and get in the current so-well-organized immigration processing line.
In Sunday's news it was reported that the Republicans plan a constitutional convention to propose an amendment to the Constitution forsing a balanced budget; requires 2/3 majority of states to ******* this con-con. Supposedly, 27 states have passed legislation to allow amendments to the Constitution, and another 9 are considering allowing changes. This sounds good, right? You'd think that this would ******* our representatives to sit down and establish a real government operating budget, but oh no ... that won't happen because that isn't the real objective. Their objective, as usual, is really about continuing their cuts to government revenue through tax cuts that will create bigger budget shortfalls that will ******* spending cuts, thus shrinking government. Of course, they won't come out and say that, but this is all they've got. And, they won't admit that the cost of doing this will be mostly on the backs of, who else, but the middle & poor working class. Same "trickle down" served deviously under another name. Possibly Democrats will grow some testicles and demand that 50% of any future revenue cuts be taken straight from military spending as offset.
