Alright folks. Seems this is the only thing we ever talk about now days.
Lets see what everyone's opinions are.
RULES!
Do not comment on other's posts, only post what you feel should be done about our Goverment and what your dream Goverment would be like, then give it a name.
Example:
I feel that our Government needs to drop the Social movement until we have the money to back it. I feel we need slam buisnesses for ditching American and shipping overseas. I say bring back the industrialization we are known for!
My ideal society works much like we did in the 50's with tighter laws on imports.
Now this is a VERY vague example of what I'm talking about. THis is just an example, I don't have the time to write out my own. Tonight I will be able to. School limits such time.

My ideal government is one that places a great deal of respect on the Constitution. The Federal government's responsibilities are to ensure that our rights are protected and to defend us from foreign enemies, as well as several other minor duties that are clearly defined in the Constitution. Now, the states are pretty much free to govern themselves, barring the prohibitions imposed on them by the Constitution. If you don't like the way New Jersey is governed, just move to Pennsylvania. Having broad Federal laws prevents you from being able to vote with your feet and still remain an American citizen.
One thing I'd be interested in seeing amended to the Constitution though, would be giving the Supreme Court the power to rule whether or not a new law is constitutional after it is passed but before it put into effect. Now, there should be a mechanism to overturn a Supreme Court decision, if that decision was a mere 5/4 majority vote.
I'm sure there's more but I'm a bit distracted so that's it for now.
