Talking of future generations, it seems to me that we hear so much talk of the unborn (mostly though not exclusively from the Republican party), and their concern for the lives of the unborn. Why not concern for not spending the unborn into oblivion before they're even born or conceived? I'd also like to see the big experts return to talking about a Balanced Budget Amendment. Right now the states are in tough circumstances, having to cut spending and raise taxes. Some of those states, I think, have enacted Balanced Budget amendments. One reason their revenue base is in disarray is, arguably, that the Federal Government does not seem as inclined to behave itself. I think an Amendment of some sort is overdue. Doubtless, as soon as it was fresh out of the box, some pretext for temporary suspension of it would be found on grounds of national security, but I'd like to see it in place nevertheless. I think a way to do this might be for some of the states in dire financial circumstances to get together to sue the Federal Government to get its financial house in order, and get some good energy policy going while they're at it, and-or to work for responsible fiscal laws for the Federal Government. ------------------------ Yahoo!
