Just TRY to explain the difference between GDP and the "old standard" GNP to a layman!

And for accountability, I'd like to see a Constitutional Ammendments allowing the Line Item Veto. Even the GOP gave it to Clinton back in the early 90s but the USSC shot it down (I still disagree with their reasoning - the override capability kept the division of powers but that wasn't my decision to make).

Wouldn't totally solve the problem but it would certainly cut down on the "hostage ammendments" that Congress likes to attach to important bills.
