well, NW guest, because your suggestion starts with:

" don't allow the federal gov't "
and "make EVERYBODY pay."
and goes on to suggest that the Republicans could easily pass it, I suggest that it is doomed before it starts. It is rather like stopping war & murder by telling everyone to 'just be fair and get along!'

The Republicans ARE the federal gummint right now, and they seem inclined to NOT make everybody pay.....
