When the Founders hammered out the foundations of this Republic, there was no class of political scientists and technicians.

Getting back to basics is a good thing, but that foundation was solid. Look at all the crap that has been added to it and it yet stands.

It's time to strip away a couple hundred years of superfluous construction and get back to the foundation, with a couple of essential additions (the removal of slavery was a good thing, for instance). Only then can we salvage what is here.

The 19 trillion dollar debt would be less than half that were it not for enemy action within our own Government. It's high time to clean House (and Senate, and alphabet agencies, and...)

Agree. And it won’t be easy...but I, for one, am ready to try.
