Title: To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical

Can't cut, can't spend. That doesn't leave much. Sounds like it doesn't leave any options.

Interesting situation if the economy is still in the doldrums in 2012, BOTH the Reps and Dems would share the blame --presuming a GOP House-- since the House is where $$$ are voted on.   Billy     In a message dated 10/25/2010 1:45:23 P.M.
