That would be nice. Reminds me of what Ross Perot said. Gotta run it more like a business.
There is too much waste and bureaucracy. This isn't a D or R thing - its a Gov't thing that we can no longer afford. Reallocating resources or removing redundant layer upon layer of duplication would certainly help.

Exactly, classic. It should not be a democrat or republican issue. Our government is so full of red tape and waste, nothing really ever gets done. I'd be in favor of putting a lot more MAJOR issues on the ballot and let the citizens decide...not the clowns in Washington.
We need to vote the vast majority out and apply term limits on them so they don't make a career out of politics. We do it with the President...why not with the House and Senate? Limit them to 2 terms and that's it...for LIFE. Career politicians are only looking out for one group...themselves. We handled it in PA. A few years back some politicians in Harrisburg took it upon themselves to vote themselves pay raises in the middle of the night. After the uproar, some gave the money back, but some didn't (including a state judge) and soon found themselves unemployed.
The problem with today's society is the feeling of entitlement. Many people don't want to work for what they get...they feel they deserve it.
