And continuing to be perpetuated by politicians from both sides of the aisle. It will never stop until we term limit them. Or terminate them. LOL!
I’ll second that emotion. :-)
“How does this get done?”
The SPINLESS WHORES would have to pass the bill/s or a state convention or RWII or CWII.
If gang bangers gave police chiefs $400,000 for a 45 minute ‘speech’ everyone in the country would know it was a bribe...
It is sick, godless, immoral, and corrupt.
The American people have lost their way.

The corruption of Rome makes me long for the "good old days." At least Rome did not pretend to be a democratic republic.
Thanks - I tagged it...
No. Rome is nothing to long for. Neither is Decadent America.
Politicians from both sides of the aisle should be locked up in prison for financial crimes against the citizens of the republic.

But it is doubted with me whether a permanent funded debt is beneficial or not to any country.
The same effect must be produced that has taken place in other nations; it must either bring on a national bankruptcy or annihilate her existence as an independent empire. Hence I contend, sir, that a funding system, in this country, will be highly dangerous to the welfare of the republic; it may, for a moment, raise our credit and increase the circulation, by multiplying a new species of currency; but it must, in times afterward, settle upon our posterity a burthen which they can neither bear nor relieve themselves from. It will establish a precedent in America that may, and in all probability will, be pursued by the sovereign authority until it brings upon us that ruin which it has never failed to bring, or is inevitably bringing, upon all the nations of the earth who have had the temerity to make the experiment.
