Never happen.
Not in a country the size of ours, simply not feasible that every spending venture can be a bill that is voted on.
Unless......wait for it....the Federal Government is reduced to what it should be in the first place. Whole other issue seemingly, but not at all. We have allowed the Fed Gov't to get this big.
Which by the way - is why the Democrats are against this. They know that with all this spending - earmarks are the quickest and easiest wat to spend our money and grow government in the process.
Cutting Government is a priority. It has to be. We're broke. Sure it may not happen in the Lame Duck session of Congress...but I would be willing to bet that we will see it surface after the newbies are sworn in. I think the people will demand such measures.
It is priority...however it is like trying to tell a dog to stop eating raw meat.
At the same time we have a public who wants their cake and eat it too.
I am sorry, truly am...but the chances of our country fixing it's problems before it is too late is absolute zero.
Our government is too corrupt, and our population has lost all clues as to what sacrifice and responsibility is.
I look at the deficit numbers and I get a brain cramp. I hear a member of the public saying "Obama's stash is gonna get me money"; I get a brain cramp.
I fear you could be correct; I don't know if there is a way to drag this back now.
And I would class myself as a Pollyana but it appears to be getting bleaker by the day.
And then aye carumba, Obama goes overseas and blows the deal with South Korea and insults China in public and gets bitch slapped by the rest of G20 ; guess what? Major brain cramp.
The man is not ready for prime time.
