If I Had A Vote: An Exercise in Political Ideology

[Yeggo]

Since I had some time to kill on a Friday afternoon, I put together a list of the preliminary deficit commission suggestions, and went through figuring out how I'd vote on them if I had a vote to cast. (Yeah, I know... I need to get out more).

In the end, I agreed with 9 of the 20 suggestions I looked at, which is actually more than I thought I would. But the real test would be for the right. THEY'RE the ones that like to think they're deficit hawks. Would they REALLY vote to reduce our military presence in Europe and Asia? Would they REALLY vote to raise taxes on gasoline 15 cents?

Anyway, if you want to test yourself, here you go:

Recomended for the point by point summary of the catfood commission proposals. And you have my vote if you run for Congress.

I didn't know it existed, and I will definitely spend some time there.
