re: Policy options

Spending restrictions would have to be hardwired if they're going to work. Otherwise, politicians who tell voters they can't have their cake and eat it to will be voted out, and more candy-tossers voted in.

I suspect that if the writers of the Constitution saw what our Federal government had grown into, there would have been quite a few more restrictions thrown in at the beginning. How would they have known?
