: I'm not buying this BS coming from Sen Levin's mouth. We saw the same thing during the Vietnam War and it still goes on today. This is one big DC conspiracy. Special interest groups are making money hand over fist on the backs of the US citizenry, all the while our states go bankrupt under debt, taxes, spending, and the inflation created by the Federal Reserve.

The internationalists have taken this country down a road that ends in ruin. The time is now to repeal the 17th Amendment, taking away the oligarchs' power and returning the states rightful place in the Federal Government.
