The new Congressman from Georgia's 10th District, Dr. Paul Broun proposed a pretty good "four-way test" that he intends to apply before deciding whether to vote for legislation:
- Is it constitutional and a proper function of government?
- Is it morally correct?
- Is it something we really need?
- Is it something we can afford?
I hope he includes with #1 Is it constitutional and a proper function of federal government, rather than state or local.
ReplyDeleteMy impression is that he is a federalist, and that would be an important consideration.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering whether the list is in order of priority?
