Amendments 16 and 17.
Kill the FED, and you kill Progressivism down to its roots. You will then naturally begin to fix 1000 things that conservatives hate, from NPR to abortion. I'm so surprised Conservatives do not see this.
BUMP!
"Conservatism" has thus far been but a subset of the Republican Party. Long ago, the Republican Party made a Devil's Bargain with the Democrats. In exchange for rolling over and playing dead with what they see as a permanent Democrat majority, they occupy lucratively gerrymandered "safe seats." Even more important, they were guaranteed a place at the tables where the swag is divided up among the pirates of the Constitution.
In those rare interludes when the Republicans gain a majority in the House or the Senate, they demonstrate "0" zeal for reform of the government, shockingly inept leadership, and issue tons of blather about "hands across the aisle." This goes double when there is a Republican President.
The deal is too good for the Republicans to seek real change. The Republican Party is dead. Unfortunately for the Republic, no one has come up with a replacement; one that can oppose the Democrat Party and re-establish some semblance of constitutional order in government.
The government ... that is the ruler of the people which it has become ... is made up of Federal Agencies who write and interpret the laws. The legislative branch exists not to represent the public at large, but the major contributors who can pay for special treatment from the bureaucracy.
