Getting national convention and state legislatures to repeal the 16th, 17th, 19th, and 24th amendments would be a good start.
I would also add, or we need to return to the concept of a Constitutional Republic in my options
Sadly, it looks like the Pinochet route is more likely at this point
Maybe Trump would cut the $20T down to $10T. I’d love to see him, or any alternative GOP candidate, try. But Trump has said he’s not going to touch the $100T in entitlement promises, which is the much larger problem. If you don’t fix entitlements they will, by default, end up on the operating budget. Converting $20T of operating debt and a pile of promised IOUs into $110T of operating debt isn’t a viable business plan. Feds can’t use chapter 11 to reorganize out of it down the road. Trump’s assurance he’ll keep paying entitlements isn’t an exit plan, but more of what got us into this mess.
Thoughtful bump.
