Truly "Fair", "Reasonable" and "Sensible" solutions from the Elitist Federal legislators?? I guess that depends on who you ask. From my perspective it's not terribly likely. These solutions not trampling all over essential Liberty recognized in the Constitution that they swore to uphold?? Several orders of magnitude less likely yet (again in my view, YMMV).

There are surely exceptions, but too many of our elected representatives believe more in polls and democracy (rule of the majority) than in character, conviction and something larger than their own egos and bank accounts.

The only way off the slippery slope our society is on is to embrace the virtues that our Founders knew were essential to the maintenance of this grand experiment in self-governance. We as a nation are doomed unless people of intelligence, conscience and conviction bring those traits to the polls -- in greater numbers than those otherwise inclined.
