Near-infinite money buys near-infinite government. What is the organizational dynamic of bureaucrats with near-infinite money? The Iron Law of Bureaucracy says they will expand their power and control until some other power stops them. Back when government spending was limited by what the taxpayers were willing to pay for, the primary constraint upon government was that there simply was not enough money to fund every foolish bureaucratic desire. So, government tended to be forced to pay attention to its legal and Constitutional responsibilities first in proper priority. Now, with near-infinite money, there are far fewer spending constraints, and thus it is far easier for bureaucracies to run amok.
It used to be that the primary limit on government was the fact there was only so much money to spend. But in the last 100 years, government has given itself power to create near-infinite amounts of money, mostly in debt it will force our yet-unaborted future generations to service.
In order to limit government, we must limit its money. That must be the first order of business of an Article V convention. We must try this peaceful option before it becomes too easy to attempt non-peaceful ones.
