If conservatives really want to kill progressivism and pull it up, roots and all - kill the Federal Reserve.
You can not have the unlimited welfare state without nationalization of the currency and Central Bank controlled interest rates.
Its clear that the ONLY thing that has saved Obama these past 5 years has been the Fed’s monetization of $ Trillions in Federal Government debt, and the FED’s flooding the US economy with money.
Imagine what the US government would look like if it could only spend what it could bring in in taxes, or borrow at REAL interest rates?
I would estimate a government 1/2 it's present size. You just know they are not going to be able to keep their hands off of private retirement funds. Junkies have no morals when they are jonesing for their fix.
Terminate the -Reserve- it is the the soul for the spirit of: gov is god. Not to mention, clearly not lawful according to the supreme law of this land.
