ONLY conservatives care about fiscal sanity. As a result, I implore everyone to not divide conservatives to join other parties like Elon is suggesting because that will only get democrats elected. Then you are faced with continual fiscal insanity, if not worse, along side of the rest of their insanity on all other issues.

The Article V movement offers a way out without splitting up MAGA. Currently, there are 19 states that have joined as there are 34 states needed. We need just 15 more states. Look at the list to see if your state is one, and if so, join the movement to lobby your local state officials to pass it.

Once they get the 34rth state, then states can impose a balanced budget amendment to mandate fiscal sanity.

Here is the list so far.

Musk is zero threat. His so called party, if it gets off the ground, will be a huge challenge to the Libertarians, the Green Party, the Communist party, and all of those other parties who can't even get 5% of the vote. The most likely scenario is that Musk loses a ton of money and gets nowhere.

Are honestly saying that T-Rumps big ugly bill is fiscal sanity??

I never said that.

The last time they balanced a budget was with Newt and will probably be the last time.

 

[Independent thinker]

We shall see.

It's naive to think you can change the status quo. While it's good to have fantasies, fantasies are just fantasies. The coalition starting to form around Musk's idea is a broad mix of different things all over the spectrum. I remember a line from an old TV show I used to like, "The Greatest American Hero" where one main character gets mad at the other and says, "We couldn't agree on how to make Kool Aid". Great analogy. There is much, much more to a political party than just fiscal responsibility.

The Constitution doesn't need to be re-written or amended, only followed.

 

[Votto]

The Constitution doesn't need to be re-written or amended, only followed.

Clearly that is not the case since if you follow the Constitution it provides a means to amend itself

Without such, there would be no Bill of Rights or the amendments following, like giving women the right to vote.

Try again.

The issue is, states have never amended the Constitution, but the provision was placed their in case the Federal government became too powerful, which it has.

 

[Zincwarrior]

It's based on how the only other Constitutional Convention was operated.

So its literally irrelevant.

 

[martybegan]

So its literally irrelevant.

it's the only example of a convention that we have.

 

[Votto]

it's the only example of a convention that we have.

A convention without the Swamp creatures?

Scary, eh Lefties?

 

[martybegan]

A convention without the Swamp creatures?

The "each State only gets 1 vote" thing scares them more.

ONLY conservatives care about fiscal sanity.

Must be why the debt keeps going up even when they're in charge.

Ronald Reagan tripled the national debt.

In fact every modern era conservative republican has been called a RHINO because they increased the debt so much.
With Donald Regan (treasury) famously saying "deficits don't matter".

 

[Zincwarrior]

it's the only example of a convention that we have.

Which means its irrelevant

 

[martybegan]

Which means its irrelevant

Nope. That was the procedure for the original Constitutional Convention, and an Article V convention is basically a replication of that event.

 

[JWBooth]

ONLY conservatives care about fiscal sanity.

It would be really cool to see some action rather than relying on rhetoric.

I thought there were way more than that. Or is that old data?

Tbh, I think with everything going on these days, this is a decent Playaction Fake or Hail Mary.

Conservatives have been in charge?

 

[Votto]

The "each State only gets 1 vote" thing scares them more.

What scares them is not being able to propagandize to the masses to manipulate votes to people that can't walk and chew gum at the same time by controlling the media and academia.

Democracy is not as fun when you can't rig it.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

No, just no....Way too much risk involved as there is no limit to the agenda of a convention, no rules about delegate selection.....I sure as hell don't want the blue city states dictating what Virginia does.....It's bad enough as it is.

This Is What Put the Crack in the Liberty Bell

You're describing what actually happened at the first Constitutional Convention. The myth-makers make us believe power-hungry leaders were somehow different back then.
