How about a return to the original Constitution? Time for secession to be brought back.

ls, you don't answer questions, yet expect others to answer yours? geez, you are quit self centered, aren't you? the truth is no human government will ever work due to the fatal flaw called human nature. until humanity develops the ability to care about others equal to oneself, any form of government will eventually fail. for example, if we cared about the next generation or two, we wouldn't saddle them with $12-15 trillion in debt. and just so we can put that into perspective, $700 billion is $2300 per person, working or not. $14 trillion is $46k per person, working or not. 62% of americans work, so cost burden of that $14 trillion falls on their backs to the tune of $74k in debt per working american (assuming population stays the same - you can see why so many politicians de facto support illegal immigration). now, at 5%, the first $3700 sent to uncle sam pays interest only - no services, no military, no nothing except interest alone. only a moron will think the days of 10% interest rate are forever behind us, so at 10%, the first $7,400 sent to the treasury will pay interest alone. this is the gift we have given to our ancestors. and who complains about this? the silence is basically deafening and the action makes a vacuum appear relatively dense. human nature is bankrupt.
