Any compromise should have the voters consent. I did not vote for anyone to cut deals that involves
1. Social Security
2. Medicare
3. Medicaid
4. Voters Rights
5. USPS
6. Woman's Right To Choose
7. Not paying the bills as this could be influencing the thousands of lay offs taking place as we speak and will definitely mess with the world wide economy.
8. The border and immigrants
This deal cutting and compromises is not how I like doing business.

In fairness, both parties spend too much...and republicans have voted to raise the debt ceiling in the past.Taipan » 17 May 2023, 5:48 pm » wrote: ↑ OK.....
what is your solution?
Let say we take in around 4 Trillion/yr.
How much should we spend ?
It seems that the Dems want to spend 6-8 Trillion/yr......and raise the debt ceiling.
That ain't right. It is deeply wrong to spend money that you do not have.
Our children will financially suffer.
I am not down w/ that.
"Everyone must learn to live within their means".
Can we agree on that ?

There is ZERO PROVISIONS in our Constitution for YOU or anyone else to VOTE ON ANYTHING IN A REFERENDUM!!
Which fully exposes your UTTER STUPIDITY on this entire rant you made without one iota of anything you can do about it or vote on!! It must really SUCK that you get your ARSE handed to you on every post you make. You really are THAT EFFING STUPID!!
I SUGGEST you read our US Constitution and discover that a STATE can hold referendums IF their State Constitution permits it, BUT THERE ARE NO FEDERAL PROVISIONS FOR ONE!! And 100% of what dildoface offered was FEDERAL LAWS AND PROVISIONS!!Taipan » 17 May 2023, 6:39 pm » wrote: ↑ I do not understand.
What is wrong with referendum vote for each person in each state ?
Isn't that pure democracy ??

Add to this, every state is GUARANTEED a Republican form of government within the States. And they can write into their Constitutions whatever they feel is right for their State. That DOES NOT mean "Democracy", but REPUBLICAN FORMS OF GOVERNMENT. The legislature determines if a referendum is in order or not.

I like "Individual States Rights".
6wk. abortion cut-off date.
I say........they are wrong.
I say ......12wks.....+ the extras. (rape, incest, & med.)
I call for "referendum vote".
Let each man decide.
Pure democracy.
Are you with me ?

Democracy is 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLICANISM is the voice of the MINORITY having real power that the majority ALSO has.
ONE deteriorates into massive hate for one an other, and one results in more liberty for the individual. I doubt you are able to guess which one is which.
Change your CONSTITUTION in Texas if you don't like that you CAN'T VOTE IN REFERENDUMS THERE!! No I am NOT "with you".Taipan » 17 May 2023, 7:15 pm » wrote: ↑ I like you.
But you are mistaken on this point......
"Individual States Rights".
Example--abortion cut-off date.
I am at 12wks. You differ. OK, brother. Fine.
Let's just have a referendum vote on this issue.
Man to man. Each Texan gets to vote on his abortion cut-off date.
Pure democracy.
Are you with me now ?

Every state except Delaware requires voter approval of constitutional amendments. Aside from this limited form of referendum, Texas is one of eighteen states which do not permit any other form of initiative, referendum, or recall.

Whatever the State legislature decides it should be. THAT'S how a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLICAN STATE operates.What MY "choice" is, may not be what the Legislature has determined to be the best for this State and still respect the rights of the minority. THAT'S why DEMOCRACY doesn't work.

I agree. NO DEALS. Shut the F-ing government down. Furlough government employees NOW with no right to receive any back wages. And, don't re-start it until we have government FOR THE PEOPLE once again.

EVERY State can decide for themselves. Which is EXACTLY as it should be. I DO NOT under any conditions feel that murdering babies WILLFULLY should be allowed, but that's MY viewpoint and one that is held by half the population. OTHERS feel there should be short time frames, and others longer all the way up to the moment of birth. But again, I don't get a VOTE other than to elect my Representative to take my voice AND vote to the Statehouse.
