Well as evidenced by this thread quite well anyone can say anything at anytime....that doesn't mean it has any merit. But as I've maintained Congress will NEVER sign off on a line item veto no matter which party controls it.
You just answered my question...Listen..it sucks to say this but i lived through it....you can google all you want but the economy imploded under JC...and gas REALLLY spiked when Iran took the hostages for a couple years...
Maybe you're right. Still, imo, it would be a good thing. Of course, I tend to favor a strong Presidency too. Oh well.
and the tax cuts? who did that? bottom line you can't increase spending and cut taxes.... unless you want to increase the deficit. thats what happened during the reagan era... it was just the beginning. the republicans have been extremely irresponsible fiscally. borrow borrow borrow... thats not conservative.. that is neoconservatism. we are bankrupt.. this thing ends badly... hyperinflation.. more war. this is why Ron Paul put distance between himself and Reagan in the latter years.
we'll cut you some slack because of your work in JOKES thread! LOL.. how do you get all those jokes anyway???
the important question is why there was an embargo in the first place. but don't pursue the answer... you won't like it. and please dear God... don't hand me the globalist propaganda of the day.
I'm not right or wrong...we're just shootin' the shit here. But the question is how does Congress at some point in the future if it wishes get back it's constitutional powers if it did actually forfeit its budgetary responsibilities through the line item to the Executive?
Mark Twain had some good ones, like (if I remember it right) "There was a crook, and a politician... but I repeat myself..."
