my preference for a nice term of gridlock is to give everyone a chance to recover from the shock of the last 15-20 years worth of legislation, and figure out what all needs to be scraped. Newt started it in '94, but it was left unfinished....then after he was railroaded out of the House, the whole movement to streamline the federal government went to pot. We need some intellegent life form in Congress to expose the multitude of laws we have on the books that punish achievement, discourage hard work, and rob from those, and their families that have built productive businesses that create real jobs. If the average voter were to really think about what his/her goal's were, and the level of success that they desired, then investigate the demands legislated upon those folks, they may open their eyes and drop the class envy. Over regulation and high taxes discouragee achievement....it's happened that way every time it's been tried.

I would like to see absolutely NO new federal legislation under this current regime, and then a two year period of studying remedies to eliminate 75% of the current laws on the books. The next two years could then be spent crafting a single law, in the form of a Constitutional Amendment that would clearly limit the Interstate Commerce Clause.

There has to be some way to clean up this stinking, rotten mess we have.

I still believe that the best we can hope for in the next 2 years, eleven months, is total gridlock.

another resounding vote for gridlock
