It generally takes many years (literally) to ratify a Constitutional Amendment, because, unless I remember my civics classes incorrectly, a large majority of the states (3/4?) also have to ratify it.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong on that -- it's been a long time since high school for me.

Arnold will probably be too old to run for President before that can happen.

One thing I simply can't understand is how educated people can look at a state or nation that is already in a budget crisis and deficit spending, and expect to solve it by bringing in LESS money through tax cuts.

I know that the extra discretionary income is supposed to be spent and that bolsters the economy. On paper, that sounds good, but in reality a major tax cut's impact on the average family is in the hundreds of dollars a year. Personally, I'd rather have the government keep the money to spend on schools, roads and healthcare, etc.

How do you feel about rapidly rising tuition and fees because of less federal and state aid?
