Cut the Head off the Serpent

I've given a lot of thought lately to how the Government gets changed and how we can return to following the Constitution. The biggest problem is the Federal Government has power as long as it is funded. Because of payroll withholding, we can't not pay income taxes and if they start running low on funds, they can just print more money. So, it is pretty hard to take that "power" away from them.

I think what happens is they dig their own hole. As was seen recently, foreign countries won't always be willing to buy our debt and give us cash. And, if they keep making stupid decisions and ruining the economy and our businesses, and angering the populus, recession hits real hard, tax revenues drop and things start to fall apart. So, I imagine things will have to get worse and we will probably need to rely on food storage and supplies to tide us over until we can pull ourselves back out of the hole.

I just hope someone like China doesn't try to take over while we are down. Who in the world would come to our rescue?
