#1 It is a start.
The other place for improvements is the other bill that makes it necessary to put czars through a senate approval committee like cabinet members. Oh, and in that bill they will severely rein in the czar spending and powers as well. I would prefer czars to be illegal, but I'll take this for now.

#2 I'd like to see a bill to rein in the Federal spending--something like we have in our State; a balanced budget law. We can't spend more than we take in. I'd also like to see a national right-to-work law; a law that would rein in the public unions. Their power is way out of proportion to their numbers; they usurp the power of the voters and undermine the democratic process.

#3 As far as that goes - how about a ban on any and all political activity by any union representing public employees.

That includes contributions, in-kind contributions (phone banks, get out the vote drives, etc....), even loaning office space. ANY political activity.

Their members already have a say in the political process just like the rest of us.
