They're looking good through 4 games, but that's nothing... yet.<BR/><BR/>On spending, it has obviously stuck in your craw, so don't apologize.

Actually I dont live in Wisconsin anymore (tax hell), was born and raised there, lived there 30+ years, just frequent visits now (3-4 times a year). Still follow the Pack though, thanks to DirecTV. Did you see them self destruct last night? Unbelievable! Bears look like they're really clickin on all 8, as much as it pains me to say that! Kinda blasphemic.<BR/><BR/>Back to the subject, I agree in reorganizing power, spending, programs etc. back to the state and local level, here here! Although, it will be like trying to take a t-bone away from a tiger, or taking a beer from a bear fan, LOL.<BR/><BR/>sorry to sound like a broken record on the spending deal, thanks for the follow up article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-1159917132471123062006-10-03T18:12:00.000-05:002006-10-03T18:12:00.000-05:00J,In a one-word answer, yes.

Projects that normally constitute pork (thinking of bridges to nowhere) would be incumbent on the states to "finance" - taxed at the state level. This would, in theory of course, create state-to-state competition for human capital. If Wisconsin was spending taxpayer dollars like a drunken sailor (my apologies to drunken sailors out there who object to the comparison to a congressman), you could up and move to Illinois where the American Federalist Party will surely be a success.<BR/><BR/>And as an added bonus, you could cheer for the Bears, too. Pretty good deal, ain't it?<BR/><BR/>-AHMichael Tamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861899520031696061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27070282.post-1159914931271144112006-10-03T17:35:00.000-05:002006-10-03T17:35:00.000-05:00A.H.In the view of the "American Federalist", so c...A.H.<BR/><BR/>In the view of the "American Federalist", so called "pork" in national defense appropriations bill would be disallowed, and left up to the individual states?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
