- djur 6y agoThat's after it was amended. The original proposal did have a 3/5ths majority requirement: https://www.congress.gov/bill/104th-congress/house-joint-resolution/1/text/rh https://www.congress.gov/bill/104th-congress/house-joint-res...
- triangleman 6y agoFair enough. I know they're just words on paper with escalating levels of authority, and at the end of the day we get the government/money we want/deserve. I personally benefited some $2000/year from the Trump tax cuts that I know my children will have to repay some day at punitive rates, but apparently that's what my fellow citizens want. Without a cultural change, founded on a spiritual change, why should we expect our government, finances, or money to change? I love Hayek but I disagree with that quote at the bottom of the site. A "poison pill" is no solution to our problems.
