OK, in reverse order, I never said that I personally supported such an Amendment, merely that it is the only way to make such expendatures comply with the Constitution, so with all due respect, no, I will NOT stop saying it, and in fact, we should ALL be saying it, at the top of our lungs. MAKE IT LEGAL OR STOP DOING IT!
As to correcting the situation, I would like to see the government simply make an accounting of all monies forceably extorted from We The People, by the Congress, for completely unconstitutional programs, and write each and every one of those people a check for the amount extorted, PLUS 4-6% interest, minus any monies already paid out, over a 10 year period, starting with the eldest, and progressing through those who are just now entering the workforce, and let that be the end of it, BUT they should immediately cease extorting monies from us for those programs, and they should stop adding people to the rolls, excepting those who would already be retiring before they got their check, and ending when they received it.
Phasing it out is the only proper way for it to happen, and I believe a 10 year time frame is more than sufficient for that process, but it needs to be started YESTERDAY.
