12:32 "Quit spending money we don't have" (fiscal restraint)
We don't have any money in fact being $18 trillion in the red. So argueing for restraint is kinda redundant. Pay off the debt then you can talk about financial restraint. Time for restraint was 18 trillion dollars ago.
12:35 "We limit the President to two-terms, it's about time we limit the terms of Congress" - for congressional term-limits.
Agree.
12:35 He mentions his "read the bills" Act.
Not practical or even possible when bills can be a thousand pages long
He's for a flat tax as well I'm also in agreement with if 15%. Just because the wealthiest make more than the poorest doesn't mean they should be taxed more than the poorest.
Doesn't that kind of tell you bills shouldn't be thousands of pages long to begin with?
There is often - but not always - very good reason for this and I think that would be a great topic for a stand-alone thread. What do you think? Could this be really good discussion material for all of us, totally irrespective of personal ideology?
