I heard this today and thought it was someone's idea of a joke...it is a joke and not a very funny one.

It doesn't come as a suprise, though. I expect that most entitlements (SSI, Medicare, etc) will be gone and taxes will be at least 70% of people's gross per year in the not-to-distant future.

If some idiot does this and it passes, expect a draft to be enacted to be able to even have a military force shortly thereafter.
