0:05.4 | anytime there's a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible |
0:11.1 | for re-election. Now, obviously, the irony in that is the hardest part is that Congress would actually |
0:17.2 | have to be the ones to vote this in. But man, what an idea, right? |
0:20.9 | And I love how simple he keeps it in that regard and perspective, right? |
