The Weekend Pundit features clip of a panel of ordinary citizens that worked an exercise on reducing the federal deficit. In an hour they saved 2.5 trillion dollars. Not that I agree with everything they came up with (the sacredness of the home mortgage interest deduction for one - many of us have no deductions at all, even that one), but there is sharing in the pain.
The problem with Congress is they want to please everyone (well, duh, they want to get re-elected), but that will never work.
It isn't a difficult exercise for one person to do. To get concensus between two or more people is danged difficult!
