Federal and state taxes and budgeting
Our tax code should be simplified. "Experts" have been saying taxes must be reduced to equal revenue, and then some, to deal with our trillion dollar debt.

This is "water over the dam" and only prolongs the problem and increases time and effort expended, both direct and indirect.

But, of course, it's not a perfect world, and sometimes lawmakers can be most productive when they can plow ahead without having to worry about repercussions at the voting booth.
