the check and balance was removed the second the states were nullifed by having the senate directly elected.
the senate was there to represent that states, the house the people and thus 100 years later, no checks or balance but an out of control federal government with no way to rein it in.
I would believe that if we were broke as a nation for a government without checks and balances would surely break the bank.
When that happens I will take your statement to heart.
Not until then!....
From the Declaration of Independence " That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.".
It starts with the vote and ends wherever it has to!
And don’t expect any help from the courts.
That and the Commerce clause spelled Doom for the Republic. We are reliving the history of the Roman Republic.
Amen. Congress is out of control. And people keep reelecting these same criminals. And no way to stop it until it explodes.
Seriously, who is going to run on a campaign of cutting expenses such as Medicare? That is a political death sentence? Or cutting funding for education?
As long as people put their self interest above the country’s (which is over 50% of people), we will eventually blow up.
Sorry. There is NO SOLUTION. Even Reagan barely cut expenditures.
