No, what I would really do is have DC do its usual appropriation/authorization shenanigans as usual, but add a third step where they carve up the cost against the states. Force the states to tax farm all of the desired federal spending.
This would effect a badly needed negative feedback loop to drive the system towards a gazinta==gazouta state.
Sure, you need exception handling for situations like a No Kidding Declaration of War, (which hasn't been seen since FDR), and times when states default on their "fair share".
But if you want social spending, and haven't told me how you're doing it without chronic deficit spending, you haven't told me much.
Returning to your post, you seem to be arguing transactional trees at the expense of the financial forest, ignoring intrinsic infernos.
If you blow away the 16th Amendment, you can repeal the entire IRS, and the cell phone tax en piss-ant.
Rock on, Leahy: you're a true patriot.
Save the other barrel for the Federal Reserve.
Amputating moral hazard is a bipartisan concern.
That's the kind of anonymous meta-moderation comment an idiot would apply to a reply to a slashdot post about a luggage combination and a reply to a reply to a slashdot post about a luggage combination
when they don't recognize the essential humor of recursive, meaningless replies as a form of/. art.
Fine. One wonders when areas of Africa and the Middle East, where water rights are a big political football, will see large-scale water generation facilities.
The idiom "the die is cast" typically refers to a six-sided die. Can you name an instance of any other sort of die in use at a casino?
"polyhedral" implies "other than six sided" dice.
Rolling my 2d10 for a quick percentage, your point is 87% taken.

Um, no, I already have all the karma I need, thanks.

Oh, the Milky Way at night,
Vastly over-rated sight.
Better still the suds of morn,
By which unsightly stubble's shorn.

...where VS Rots the Mind?
How could the Bad Analogy Guy overlook the 'droid vs. Borg comparison?
You're slipping badly there.
This is all clearly a plot by lingering Bush loyalists to discredit the Preshizzle.
With a nick like "Phoghat" and a topic like "Istanbul", you wouldn't prefer some "Fool for the City" reference?
The Turks are casual, until you name a chip "Armenian" or "Kurd".
Then, not so much.
It all went to hellespont.
Istanbul runs your shells
Through shaves as tight as Dardanelles.
Use Opteron and the gallant foamy,
And thus avoid Gallipoli.

I suppose one could have said *excreted*, but that would have wrecked the pattern of the jape.
Well, they did release DOS.
