The second challenge is getting policy makers to do the right thing when doing the wrong thing means more money and power for the political class.

Okay, then. We all agree that there's NOTHING we can do to convince them to do the right thing.

That means the only thing we CAN do is get different policy makers - by whatever means necessary.

New policy makers will go the way of previous policy makers. The STRUCTURE of our consolidated government must be restored to a federal configuration.

An Article V state amendment convention is our only hope.

I would not call this inbred corruption.

This is more of an enterprise that is so big that change is nearly impossible.

All you have to do is to look at any large company and what you find is after a while, the company will not change until it has a near death experience with bankruptcy and sometimes even that does not work.

I still remember the bankruptcy of eastern airlines where the rally cry was “full pay until the last day”.

Even Reagan and later Gingrich failed to change Washington.

It is simply too big.

"That means the only thing we CAN do is get different policy makers - by whatever means necessary."

The ONLY thing that will work is to starve the federal beast. Do everything you can to reduce money going to these traitors - or take money from the system. Either way, it'll hasten the inevitable collapse and rebirth (like many Rat infested cities are forced into).

Putting new people in office may ruffle some feathers in the short term (Ted Cruz, Rand Paul... wako birds), but there are WAY too many powerful entities who rule over, unimpeded, our laws, regulations, education, health, energy, food sources, protection, savings, and everything else related to living in the USA. The only way to stop it is to starve it - stop funding big gov.
