Or, a Constitutional amendment that sets the taxation rate and requires a balanced budget every year based solely on those revenues taken in. In other words, something that would guarantee that they cannot rob Peter to pay Paul when they are unable to do their job.

Christie announced this afternoon that he would leave the campaign to be on the job during the storm.

Chris Christie leaves campaign trail to return to N.J. ahead of winter storm - CNNPolitics.com

We've heard warnings about this storm for 5 days. The cynic in me might think that he has timed his heroic return to coincide with max news coverage of the storm.

Nahhhhh...

If he ignored the storm, and stayed on the campaign trail, you would bash him for that. If he was a Democrat, and went back to Jersey, you would say that he cares.

Just missed Rubio at Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc in New Hampshire. Dude was super late. Too bad, I was one of the only people there interested in seeing him...

Or he might have planned to be back for the last several days, like everyone else, but figured he'd get little credit for that. Better political theater to do it in a hurry, last minute, gotta get back to save people !

Theoretically a good idea. In practice a bit difficult.

I'd love to see us run a surplus for 15 years and get to zero debt. Get out of the business of other people's wars, tiered but flat tax rates with no deductions, zero corporate rate but tax all earnings per share to the shareholder as ordinary income. All a good start.

No tiers. 10% of whatever you make, however you make it. Staple a check on the postcard.

Reminder of Trump's numbers in NBC/WSJ poll:
Latinos: 22 fav/69 unfav
Women: 26 fav/62 unfav
Indies: 31 fav/55 unfav

I guess this is how you win general elections

Im starting to see a lot of hedging of bets about Trump. They don't want him, but if he wins the nomination, they want in.
