It will be impossible to get any control of the excessive spending by the Congress until we get rid of the insane nonsense of current services base line budgeting. The idea that last years spending constitutes a floor for this years spending plus an automatic annual increase is a politicians wet dream.

Our problems stem from the fact that the Left hates the constraints imposed upon them by the Constitution and do everything that they can to evade, avoid, or to nullify them.

This was not an error on the part of the founders.

It's obvious that you learned your U.S. History from Howard Zinn.

They have since moved to Canada and the Brach candy company, long a Chicago concern, moved to Mexico.

When the Senate had a chance to rein in subsidies and tax breaks for Big Sugar last year the effort failed thanks to votes by Senator Rubio and both of Georgia's supposedly conservative Senators.
