I think the solution is quite simple for this and many other issues - we need this government to start following the constitution

Yes Populist, there are a lot of things being done with out our knowledge in the name of the American people. I saw a good documentary the other day that challenges the IRS. There is no constitutional that states we are required to pay income tax, but they can repossess your home, car, or any other posessions you may have, and you have little recourse.

WTF???
well that was my first thought. But then, I'm not AT ALL suprised.First we teach ppl overseas what they need to know to rise up and start attacking us. now this?
I think that the gov't is doing it in hope of finding terror cells in mexico but I don't know. Alot of other well intended plans have come back to bite us all in the arse.
Thanx pop!

"And, if Constitutionality is of no concern to you...("
Then you have a shot to become the next President of US. (ba-dum tssss!)
"The federal government literally will have to borrow or print the money to cover this. There's absolutely no way that we as a people can continue to pay for this."
Of course there is. We still have some money left in Social Security, right?
And if not, then I'm sure that we can find something to offer to China to get more loans. They don't own everything in America yet.
