There’s a bill? What bill?

That’s the point of the OP: There is no bill, there is no plan.

How much time do they need? And what have they been doing for the past two years?

They’ve had years to put together a bill, or at least formulate a policy with some specifics. But they have nothing.

Just empty rhetoric.[/quote]

Pri_k,
Here is a “plan”, now find something else to complain about.

International Fund for Ireland. $17 million annual savings.

From Wikipedia:
The International Fund for Ireland is an independent international organisation established in 1986 by the British and Irish governments with the objectives of promoting “economic and social advance and to encourage contact, dialogue and reconciliation between nationalists and unionists throughout Ireland.”[1]

The Fund operates with co-operation and financial contributions from the governments of United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the structures of the European Union.[1] To date, £576m / €849m — funding over 5,700 projects across the island of Ireland — has been disbursed.[1]

WTF is this about? We can’t afford our own bills, and we pay for stuff like this?

I like this idea though…

Eliminate federal control of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. $30 billion total savings.
