The Good Old Days Of Budgeting Are Dead And Gone
Back in the good ole' days before Big Brother (our "representative" career politicians aka The Swamp) went and broke what's supposed to be We The People's government, here is how the legislative process worked, according to the linked article~
Freakin' Step 1
Congress approved a budget, a blueprint of how
money would be spent during the year.
Freakin' Step 2
Congress authorized spending on existing programs whose authorization had run out.
Freakin' Step 3
Congress approved 11 or 12 appropriation bills at one time, with appropriators carefully considering a reasonable level of spending for each category, members voting up and down on each one, approving those they agree with, opposing those they thought spent too much or too little.
Yep, those were the good ole' days. Today?
Budget? What's a budget? We don't need no stinkin' budget!
Hey, guys, for this here Omnibus Bill, let's float a loan to get DACA off the ground. What? You Jackass Partiers don't want no stinkin' DACA either? Why?
Ah, leverage to keep the wall from being built while you can keep calling Trump a racist. Okay.
Oh, guess y'all don't know there's a dinky so-called "down payment" on the wall in the bill.
Oh, you haven't read the bill. That's okay too.
Few if any of us have read all 2,000 pages with that threat deadline of a government shutdown looming over our swampy career politician heads..
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Let's hurry, hurry, hurry! Let's hurry up and pass this big bill to see what's in it .
Wheee! Hell's bells shotgun shells! Let's all hitch a ride on this Brave New World Banana Republic Express!
Yeehaw! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I don't give a damn! My earmarks are in a jam!
Why think debit when we've got credit?
How can we crash and burn, baby? How can we crash and burn? We're the elite with nuthin' left to learn!
Wheeeeeeeeee!
Cray havoc and let loose the national debt!

When the Republicans, as part of Gingrich's revolution gave Clinton a line item veto, he got out his pen and started using it. One article I found had him canceling 38 military construction projects for a total of $287 million. It was challenged and the Supreme Court 6-3 said that it was unconstitutional.
The notion of a self-serving lifelong career politician who retires with a hefty pension would be repugnant to them.
We need to revisit the civil service laws. We don't want to go to the bad old days when all the government jobs were political prizes to be given out but we also need accountability to elected leadership.
The above and below the table Jackasses are definitely working together.

I answer my own Queery Is Judaism more than a religion? Is there a jewish Gene?
Ethnic groups who marry among themselves for generations are genetically "linked". It is scientifically undisputed that there are genetic patterns that occur frequently in Jews. Jews have developed over the centuries a certain degree of genetic homogeneity that becomes visible in a DNA-test.
The Jewish People, however, is not entirely genetically seperable. So no test can give you an unambiguous proof. Nevertheless a genealogical DNA test can confirm a Jewish origin.
Even if you don't belong to one of the typical Jewish haplogroups, you could still have Jewish roots. By comparing your DNA-Profile with all other profiles in our databank (over 700.000), you will find persons whose profiles are genetically similar to yours ("genetic cousins"). If many of your genetic cousins are Jews, then there is a high probability that you have Jewish roots, too.

The cool Acadians went to Louisiana to become Cajuns.
My mutt quarter settled in New England on my mother's side, she and my American born full-blooded Swede dad moving to Alabama when I was four.
My mom's dad did look like a Frenchman roughly similar to DeGaulle and her mom had a bit of an Irish accent.

The home of Ole and Lena jokes.Example
Ole was talking with his brother Sven, who lived next door, when Sven said, "Ya know Ole, you and Lena should really get some new curtains."
"Vhy's dat?" Ole asked.
"Vel last night I saw you and Lena, vel you know..."
Ole thought for awhile, then said, "Ha-ha Sven, da jokes on you! I vasn't even home last night!"
My French-Irish mom did all the cooking in Alabama. I can't even recall Dad grilling a steak, though he did teach me how to clean fish at that lake you know about.
Just before I clicked on Reply, me dino thought to see what I've been missing for being dragged south. Well, I WAS dragged south from Massachusetts, so I may have missed out anyways.

The friend says, "Hey Dere! I'm a good friend of your master.Vill you grant me vun vish?" "Yes I will", the genie said. So Sven asks him for a million bucks and the genie hops back into the tackle box and leaves Sven standing there waiting for his million bucks. Suddenly the sky begins to darken and the sound of million ducks flying overhead is heard. Sven yells to Ole, "I asked for a million bucks - not ducks!" Ole answers, "Ya, I forgot to tell yew, da genie is hard of hearing. Do you really tink I asked him for a 12-inch BIC?
1. The total spending amount is capped at the total tax receipts from two years prior - including debt service and interest payments on debt. (No deficit spending is allowed.)
2. Every bill put before Congress must be read out loud in its entirety on the Floor in open/public session before it may be voted on. (No more 2000-page spending bills laden with pork.)
3. Though the salaries of members of Congress (House and Senate) are set by Constitutional amendment, those salaries and the salaries and benefits of all members of Congress and their respective Staffs are paid for and subject to audit by their individual States. Also included in this are all provision for living arrangements, travel, offices, supplies, etc.
He should havent signed a spending bill that required deficit spending, period. The whole idea that it gave money to more military power (which we only need to show off and exert influence in places we shouldnt be in anyway) is faulty, especially when it also gives huge amounts to domestic giveaways the liberals want. No one is really talking about how much and where the domestic spending is allocated- totally quiet.
I know it is a miniscule, likely forlorn, hope.
I still think a consumer strike is our best chance to force a return to free markets and liberty.
It's time to act. Consumer strike!
