How Good Government Works...

This was big news in the capital yesterday and may be a preview of coming attractions.

In other news, the Paul father and son team have made some big moves recently.  Ron Paul introduced another bill to audit the Fed completely.  It has 56 co-sponsors.  Meanwhile, Rand Paul, who I honestly was not so sure about, introduced a proposal to cut $500 billion in federal government spending which eliminates the Dept. of Energy, Housing and Urban Development, the Government Printing Office, Amtrak subsidies, and a decent chunk of the Dept. of Education, plus a bunch of other cuts.  I don't see it passing, but Rand gets an A for effort.  And now he plans to introduce another proposal to deal with Social Security by raising the retirement age to 70 and implementing means testing.  Again, I am not holding my breath for it to pass, but damn is he ever trying.
