The financial death spiral of the US Federal Government has been caused by financially irresponsible politicians during the last 80 years. Their lack of stewardship has resulted in them charging us with a National Debt of 14.8 TRILLION dollars, which must be paid back, plus interest, to those who we borrowed the money from. We have indeed allowed these same politicians to cruelly burden our own grandchild with this horrific National Debt. We have no one to blame but ourselves for electing them in the first place, and not impeaching them when they failed to spend our money within our means.
The financial condition of other failed Welfare States today reminds us of the prophetic warning of England's former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher: "The problem with Socialism is, that eventually you run out of other people's money."
I prefer the last resort to be a Constitutional Convention.
Between then and now, other measures, such as a well-worded, recall election campaign.
Maybe the formation of a Tar and Feather wing of The Tea Party might be useful.
There’s nothing wrong with the Constitution for which a Convention is necessary.
Like the Tar-and-Feather wing though.

I’m waaaaay past fighting age.
