That, alas, is precisely what has been the outcome because the left has shredded that sacred document, inserting into our private lives one government regulation after another, nowhere permitted by the Constitution. Worse, these regulations are fiscal disasters, slowly killing the United States of America.

Brent misses the core of the problem which is explained after the next quote:

Franklin D. Roosevelt butchered the meaning of the General Welfare Clause to justify a national Social Security program that now will require the government to borrow an additional $7.7 trillion over the next 75 years to stay afloat.

FDR's lawyers in their defense of Social Security did not win on Commerce Clause arguments, they won on 16th Amendment tax arguments.

And it's important to understand that Obama's lawyers are using the FDR playbook in defending Obamacare. They have already revealed their hand, that Obamacare is a tax and is fully legal to impose.

To understand the core of the problem that allows the Left to continue their progressive march towards controlling/ruling the American civilization, one must understand that like a gorilla army they fight small skirmishes to win weapons and gold. They win small battles, accumulate and grow until they are capable of wining larger battles.

Over decades and decades they have taken over vast portions of the federal government, the budgetary process and the 'gold' meaning funds to effect further battles. Recently they took from Food Stamp funds to fund union bailouts. They use our gold against us.

Our Public Gold = Federal Tax Revenues + Treasury Bond revenues

Federal Tax Revenues <== mostly backed by 16th Amendment
Treasury Bond Revenues <== mostly backed by the Federal reserve

Both the 1913 16th Amendment Income tax without apportionment and the 1913 Federal Reserve Act are the cash flow basis and credit card agency basis for today's United States federal government system.

Neither the unlimited tax authority nor the unlimited federal credit card limit were ever thought possible in the founding of the republic.

In order to get control of taxes, spending and how these are used by the Left against America, one must get control of the revenues and the credit card. Control of the income and the credit card can be used to start the process of dismantling the excessive centralization of federal power; a process of decentralization.

To control the revenues requires repealing the 16th. There is no way to control the unlimited tax authority while the 16th is in force.

Here is the tax ("revenue control") solution:

The federal "credit card" solution is an even bigger battle because the ruling class and their tools, the central bank and its lieutenants (the member banks), are the true enemy of America. They will back either party of the American ruling class (dems, RINOs) as long as they allowed to continue creating government and consumer debt 'at will' in America.

To dismantle the above does not mean to demolish the American Dream, it means to empower us to pursue our dreams without funding the Left who oppose us. We can still have a 'strong enough' central government, a stable regulated banking system, an unrivaled military and a blessed prosperity by gaining control of the "income" and the "credit card" and imposing the strongest forms of limits via Constitutional Amendments.

The take-away here is to take back control of the "income" and the "credit card".
