    I know we've discussed this before but aren't you concerned that if we did that we would actually lose ground? Lose valuable pieces of the current Constitution? I think single amendments would be a better option, but neither is going to work anytime soon. Hell the people are afraid to vote "C" much less support a Constitutional Convention.

    I think they recognize that their spending and deficits will eventually result in a balanced non-budget, when the government goes into default. So they simply intend to play it out till that day comes and they're hoping their dead or retired to a mountain retreat off the grid someplace all self contained. Watch em and when they start building such for themselves, we'll know the end is near.
    Government is force by definition and corruption by nature. The Bigger the government the greater the force and the greater the corruption.

    I advocated for that for awhile, then I realized even if such could be insisted on, how do we know who would control it and possibly repeal the Second Amendment or other parts of the Bill Of Rights? Careful what you wish for.

    Income and corporate taxes were the highest collected- despite the tax cuts. How is this possible?

    We still had a deficit- it is the spending stupid.
    Tax receipts are not up for October, we are still eating away at the record high from April. The monthly take has been down every month since then.

    Oh really? How much federal spending did Ron Paul reduce during his very long tenure as a career politician? Give me a number. Was it more than zero? Yeah, those LIBERALtarians do a bang-up job

    Revenues are at a record high.

    When will you get it through your thick head that we have a spending problem and not a revenue generating problem?
