I agree with Jeb Bush. The reform which I think would most thoroughly improve our govt would be term limits. Bye-bye to the advantages of bringing home pork to the folks back home. But wait, you say! Wouldn’t term limits result in more power being transferred to the bureaucrats of the “permanent governmt”? Well, no, not exactly.
I think the true citizen-legislators would immediately set about down-sizing the bloated super-spending behemoth our Fed Gov has morphed into. Rather than hand power over to bureaucracies and regulatory agencies, a term limited politician might be inclined to slash away at unconstitutional govtal appendages.

On the decision of the FRC to form a PAC, I just gotta say only two words: ‘BOUT TIME!
I had a proLife Democrat tell me with a straight face that her group doenst endorse and it doesnt deliver campaign donations. A group with an agenda to advance which wont endorse and therefore cannot deliver voters or money to like-minded candidates? Now that is news!! No wonder proLifers in the Dem party are so muzzled!

Meanwhile, in the real world,as wave after wave of forecosures force millions of peope out of their homes, and investment banks which have been the pillars of the financial establishment for decades crumble into dust…
As tens of millions struggle with soaring gas prices, suffer and die for want of health care, and the Iraqi population picks its way through the litter and wonder why we did this to them…
Our new Napoleon in bunny boots…
Oh, never mind.
Oh, never mind,

We have bought two homes and one apartment house. We have never put down less than 10% of the purchase price. We had a good idea that we would be able to afford the cost of the loan. It was always less than 1/4th of our take home pay.
We have never bought what we couldn’t afford to pay for. I am 61, the newest car is a 2001. The other is a 1997. The rents we charge in a blue-collar neighborhood are low. We should raise the rent but I just find it hard to.
I feel sorry for people that bought something they couldn’t afford, but I feel no need to bail them out. I don’t think the Federal government should either.
I know there are many examples of people who just had a horrible run of bad luck. The ones I know, though, brought their bad luck on themselves. I feel compassion but I won’t gamble with my financial situation to ease theirs.
The bank should never have loaned them the last two loans.
