The only way to restrain government is to cut off the money stream. And it will needs be done severely, quickly and brutally. Eradicating the Income Tax is the first step in that direction. The US must once again, and per the Constitution, be dependent solely on tariffs to sustain itself.

Congress doesn’t have the first idea how to be fiscally responsible. They’ve been feeding at the trough for too long.

Massive, and even painful cuts must be forced upon them, aligned with mechanisms of automatic, instantaneous, and the harshest of consequences and accountability whenever they even begin to remotely drift from the ledger.

Serving in government should become a fearsome place one could ever contemplate serving who lacks conscience or backbone or a brain.

The money spigot needs to be shut down, and the cuts severe.

This is just reality.

And terms must be limited. No more lifetime “service.”

"Serving in government should become a fearsome place one could ever contemplate serving who lacks conscience or backbone or a brain." Agreed! I seethe every time I see pictures of people out protesting their being laid-off from their government "job". People who felt/feel entitled to do (usually) super easy work, have no accountability, get paid a decent salary and a benefits package that would make most CEOs int he private sector envious... all of it provided by money that is stolen out of our paychecks and/or tax money that we must pay under penalty of prison, fines, etc. I mean, come on! I'm not envious of anyone with a government job. Not at all. A good dose of reality has been a long time coming. Government was *never* intended to be a career. It was supposed to be a sacrifice. Civil service... something that most don't even have a clue what the definition of that is anymore. Sorry for the rant. Loved your comment. :)
