EVEN IF we were to 'trust' the voters to only vote for righteous types who promise to 'balance budgets' there is absolutely no guarantee at all that the politician would ever DELIVER on that 'trust'. (Takes TWO to turn that lock.)

Which is EXACTLY why I would only trust to LAW, not to any particular 'fearless leaders' or the voters who may be swayed by the siren sounds which soothingly emanate from those leaders like the bleeps from sheep.

PREFERABLY I'd put my best 'faith' in the highest most rigorous law I could produce in this fine land: a direct and plain-worded amendment placed in our federal Constitution.
