I believe our country needs some sort of legislation similar to this ...I would almost be willing to bet there is enough wasted resources in every facet of the budget to balance it if we could manage to elect politicians who did the job we ask them to do instead of horse trading amongst themselves to please the folks who helped them buy their way into office, and I'm not talking about a "Tea party" that seems to be hell bent on ruining our economy.
