Should be interesting. I'm waiting for Michele Bachmann to jump up and say "Wait -- we can't make any laws restricting the freedom of speech?

Idiotic, for reasons this board doesn't have the space within which to list. But look on the bright side: It's a fairly long document, and time spent reading is time in which they won't be passing any actual legislation.
There is no hope of either party enacting serious custs to Medicare, SS or Defense, or even stanching substantial pork projects. Let them fiddle. I'll be moving to commodities... emphasis: Scotch and Spam.
(No, Adder, the economy is not getting better. Wall Street is getting better because companies are doing well in emerging markets and we were getting some manufacturing growth from a depressed dollar. The domestic liabilities remain ominous, with us reaching $1 trillion in yearly debt service alone by 2017-2020. Unemployment is not down. That's seasonal hiring for shit wage temp work. And housing is conservatively forecast to drop another 5-10%. So don't give me the usual lip on this issue.)
