    Actually that was already done a month or so ago by the US Treasury. Speed Bump. Hasn't worked in thirty years. What's changed? Nothing.

    He just got my vote. Finally someone who gets it.
    I don't care what else he stands for - I'll vote for him just for this one issue.
    He is exactly right. The National Debt is the greatest threat, the ONLY Mortal Threat, our country faces.

    I'm not sure, but I think that the bill does become law
    unless the pres vetoes. . we just have people in D.C.
    who are determined to buy votes, for their power over us. -- j

    "The U.S. House at any point could have, as WND CEO and co-founder Joseph Farah pointed out in his “No More Red Ink” campaign in recent years, simply by not authorizing spending.
    The president also can do the same by not signing a bill, even if it was approved by Congress."
    Is this true? If the president doesn't sign a bill, doesn't it become law automatically unless the president vetoes it? If we had a hardcore deficit-hawk president, it would be interesting to see how far that president would go before Congress gathered a supermajority to keep at least some borrowing going.
