“Continue with godless big government socialism, we lose it all.”

I disagree that big gov socialism and it’s supporter’s are “godless”. It, and they, have many “gods” (lowercase “g”).

It - and they - do indeed reject God, though.

Jim, one thing is spending on our citizens another is to be shelling out for the rest of the world. How about billing all these other countries that we go to war to ‘give them democratic governments’ and otherwise protect them with our blood and treasure. The costs are never ending once started. We can’t leave. We pay and pay. Bill them. No pay, we walk.

Yes, they do reject God. And there are severe consequences when nations who know better reject God.

Cut, baby, cut. Drill, baby, drill!

And buy American, baby, buy American. Let's create American tax payers to pay for OUR infrastructure, military, and space programs instead of China's.

Does Trump intend to present a budget?

The Founders knew this day would arrive when fedzilla would never come to heel and would ignore the righteous demands of We The People.

IMO, there is one last option our Founders left in the Constitution for this situation and President Trump may be the one man who can help make it happen.

The Liberty Amendments: Restoring the American Republic explains how Article V of the Constitution holds the answer to our runaway government. It outlines the process of an Article V Convention of States (CoS) which would present amendments to the Constitution that could reign in the federal leviathan. The book is written by Mark Levin.

Article V (CoS) is yet another testament to the pure genius of our Founders as it bypasses the federal government in the amendment process. Congress cannot stop the process.

President Trump has mentioned that he wants term limits on congress. “An Amendment to Establish Term Limits for Members of Congress” is the title of ch 2 of the book and there is so much more that I think President Trump would rally to.

Even though the executive has no formal part in an Article V convention, the timing of this particular president may truly be providential in this matter. Trump could be an enormous driving force behind the needed awareness campaign to bring this to greater national attention.

There is already significant momentum as the number of states required is getting close. If Trump were to push this we may reach the number in the 2018 midterms.

To the naysayers please consider that it was the Framers themselves who proscribed this process and included it in our Constitution for the very situation we are now in.

In order to MAGA we must MGCA!

President Trump, Make Government Constitutional Again!

When G W Bush took office the debt was around $4.5 trillion.
When Obama took office the debt was around $9 trillion.
When Trump took office the debt was nearly $20 trillion.

If there is no change in the political handouts by Republican and Democrats the debt could be $40 trillion when Trump leaves office in 2014.

Overspending is not only a Democrat phenomena. (Though the Democrats seem to be better spenders than the Republicans).

Very well said. Americans need to once again come to understand the value of freedom. With freedom and liberty comes opportunity for those willing to work hard, for any American.

President Reagan warned us what happens if we do not pass this on to then next generations, the value of freedom. I’ve battled many liberals and found out they do not understand this so President Reagan’s warning is coming true. It’s sad they have been indoctrinated in to this statist culture for at least the last half century.

I don’t think it’s too late for them to learn the value of freedom with all the fail coming from this leftist culture, including the nation’s dept whopper. In fact, I’ve seen quite a few millennials on Youtube that are waking up to the mess these statists are leaving them. That’s a good sign.

I agree with the thrust of your post. Trump will soon realize that no one man can save our republic. The Establishment/Dark State will stymie his efforts. Should President Trump endorse the CoS, nothing will stand in the way.

Three Cheers for Mark’s Liberty Amendments!

What security does the creditor have that lent money to this brain dead society ?

Let them reposes FDR, Lyndon Johnson, Obama and the Democrat Party.

No one here gave permission to borrow the money.

There would be less than zero money left, due to interest.
