This web-log calls for the repeal of the 17th Amendment and addresses the hegemony committed by the US Senate. The first significant step to remove the domination and unmistakable corruption deriving from the National Government and the restoration of the Federal is to repeal the 17th Amendment. Americans should fear the steady hegemonic growth by the Senate oligarchy because the US Constitution cannot be spoiled by bombs, the courts, or the President, but only through malevolent legislation.
"Spend! Spend! Spend! Under the guise of recovery - bust the government - blame the capitalists for the failure - Junk the Constitution and declare a dictatorship"
I guess the game plan hasn't changed much in the last three-quarters of a century.
We need at least one house of legislature capable of taking a rational look at the federal budget and making the cuts that need to be made. Repeal the 17th Amendment and send someone to Congress who has more than a talent for demagoguery, and who's not beholden to a political party for his or her job.
The people simply are not capable of properly overseeing representatives who are so far detached from them. Repeal the 17th Amendment so that people will focus on those legislators they can oversee, and state legislatures will ensure that demagogues in the Senate won't destroy the nation will foolish ponzi schemes.
"Too often, much of late, the last couple three years the mal-distribution of income in America is gone up way too much, the wealthy are getting way, way too wealthy, and the middle income class is left behind. Wages have not kept up with increased income of the highest income in America. This legislation will have the effect of addressing that mal-distribution of income in America."
A jobs-creation bill that could pass the Senate this week would delay a scheduled 20 percent reduction in doctor payments under the Medicare health-insurance program, according to a copy of the text obtained by Reuters.
This is what happens when the government tries to stimulate the economy by spending more instead of cutting spending. As Obama said, "That's the whole point!"
An economy cannot be stimulated by paying people to do jobs that no one wants them to do.
The 17th Amendment didn't take the money out of politics; it allowed the money to take over politics. Federal spending did not explode until 1913, after the passage of the 16th and 17th Amendments and the creation of the Federal Reserve. Three bad ideas that unleashed a federal spending monster. Repealing the 17th Amendment would allow the states to put limits on this corrupt, out-of-control federal government.
