We need structural reforms in entitlements, because once you take into account entitlements and interest on the debt...there just isn’t all the much room left.

Yes...and I keep it well-oiled. lol

Yeah it is, and I agree that there is no point in discussing something that you do not have an accurate grasp of with your belief that amendments are the only way to change the constitution. That was the process the Founding Fathers has created, but it has been changed by all 3 branches of government, and accepted by the people after the Supreme Court provided ruled that these, what I call extra-constitutional methods of changing the constitution, be deemed as being constitutional.

I even agree with you, but unfortunately that is the reality as to where the Constitution actually stands.

But the process of getting amendments passed & ratified are often time consuming, and as the speed of things began to move at, that were inconceivable back when the Founders created the Constitution, created a situation where changes needed to be made in a quicker fashion, which is why the Supreme Court ruled to allow them, I'm guessing. But now that the people have not risen up in objection, is it really constitutional? The courts believe it is. Can it still be challenged? I have no clue.

But I do know that the legislation has been approved by the courts, and therefore the laws that existed just short of 5 years, when it comes to the presidential authority to levy taxes is decided by the 1977 Act that provides the president the power to levy tariffs in declared emergencies which he did and that is why the court cases issuing stays or demands, are not constitutional, regardless of your ignorance on the topic, and is also why the WSJ is full of chit also. It's also why your pointing to Article 1 is insufficient.
