A guy named Charles Dean had a brilliant suggestion. I admit that it is kind of rough and harsh but it should be in order to prevent the obstructionist Republicans from destroying our country like they did under George Bush. I bet if this were enacted the Republicants would think twice before they destroy this country for their hedge fund buddies. Charles Dean: I propose a constitutional amendment to prevent government shut downs and debt ceiling crises: Crises funding amendment If the federal government is unable or unwilling to function or pay its bills, the following steps will be implemented in order: All private citizens or for-profit entities have ten business days to remit all over-due taxes or have their assets seized and auctioned until their tax bill is paid in full. All subsidies, tax breaks and any other federal aid to for-profit entities will be suspended until the crisis is over. All subsidies, tax breaks and any other federal aid allotted to for-profit entities within the same fiscal year as the crisis must be returned or those same entities will have their assets seized and auctioned until their obligation is met. All duly elected federal officials and their staff will have all monetary and benefits compensations suspended until the crisis is over. All such personnel must, by law, continue with their duties regardless of their compensation. All non-allied nations will have all financial aid suspended until the crisis is over. All allied nations will have all financial aid suspended until the crisis is over. Both houses of Congress must remain in session until the crisis is over. The crisis can only be declared over by a unanimous vote in both houses.
