I think that's actually a great idea (except freezing the accounts of family members part), but unfortunately has about as much of a chance of happening as eliminating the IRS.

As I told my manager the other day, I've stopped quoting Jefferson and other Founding Fathers lest I find myself sitting in Counter-Intel's office explaining why I'm not an insider threat.

You realize the IRS is the only non government entity with far reaching powers. They have the ability to seize assets w/out a court order or due process.

Yep

I would say the border patrol should be the primary voice in what is needed and what would work. Problem is, although a million conflicting media reports all say they know what the border agents want, I cannot find a single report with a plan that was prepared by the border authority. A million pages of hearsay and confusion. Anyone have a link to something coherent?

Yes he could have. The D's could have also given the same funding they approved under Obamas watch, and agreed was necessary. When he asked for it. But NOOOOOOO it's become a kids game of who's ball and bat it is.

They're all losers and should be recalled, or thrown out of office. You pull this shit in the private sector, you're out of work.

Does this mean the VA will quit playing politics with the medications I need? Is America just one big incompetent scam? Let the internet wars begin!

VA down here is running full time. The line this morning for meds, was like waiting for Led Zepplin reunion tickets. Not saying who is or isn't getting their script filled.
