Jindal: Let's Make Congress a Part-Time Gig

I like the sound of that.

Any idea that limits Democrats' opportunities to continue spending our nation into oblivion is at least worth exploring.

However, I'm not so sure about Jindal's proposal for a balanced budget amendment. It's a nice theory and all, but in reality politicians would just continue to spend, create new entitlements, etc. and then cite the amendment as justification for tax increases. That's probably not Jindal's intent, but that is how it would play out.

A better idea would be to limit spending to a fixed percentage of the GDP.
