exactly. as much as I support unified state initiatives, this proposal only feeds the beast.
until we correct monetary policy (how money is created) no amount of "imposing fiscal restraints on federal government" will change outcomes. that means 'ending the Fed' -- or as Q said "structure." drop 1194
we fail to stop Federal overreach today. is it because we lack a specific amendment?? the entire Constitution limits Federal power and jurisdiction.
the 'deep state' operates mostly through unelected bureaucrats. elected puppets are a dime a dozen. Term Limits for 'officials and members of Congress' fails to address the root of the problem.
it's the PARTIES.
the Constitution makes no mention of political parties -- the Founders assumed an absence of political parties in electing a President. in George Washington's Farewell Address, he warned that parties were likely "to become potent engines by which . . . unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government."
the people have no say in selecting which candidates will be on the ballot. "ballot access" is completely controlled by Parties. it's not in the Constitution.
