WATCH: Americans have been begging for this change for years. Mark Levin knows how to make it happen.

Mark Levin knows the definition of insanity.

The American people have been wishing, hoping, and praying for Congress to deal with the national debt for decades. On last night's episode of Life, Liberty, and Levin, “The Great One” broke the unfortunate (but obvious) news: it ain’t happening.

Congress, he said, is “incapable” of ending America’s debt crisis.

“But wait,” you might protest. “Isn’t Congress always talking about slashing wasteful government spending?”

Well, sure.

It’s quite proficient at — keyword — talking.

Talking — and very little acting.

But consider this: forty years ago, in April, President Ronald Reagan delivered a speech about “a serious problem that demands your immediate attention”: deficit spending and the national debt. At the time, the national debt totaled a mere(?) $1.7 trillion, which troubled Reagan greatly. A quarter of a century later, in 2010, when “fiscally conservative” Tea Party candidates captured the House of Representatives, vowing to make a much-needed change to congressional spending, the debt surpassed $13 trillion. Today, it’s nearing a mind-boggling $37 trillion.

That’s a whole lotta talkin’ — and virtually nothing to show for it.

Actually, it seems the more we talk about it, the worse the problem gets.

So, what are we supposed to do? (And please don’t say the same thing we’ve been doing the past 40 years.)

It’s time for We the People to consider a bold new constitutional strategy that has been lying dormant in our founding document since the Constitutional Convention over two centuries ago. Levin, a longtime leader in the nationwide Convention of States movement and former advisor to the Reagan administration, goes in-depth into how everyday Americans can use Article V to “rebalance the constitutional structure for the purpose of restoring our founding principles should the federal government shed its limitations, abandon its original purpose, and grow too powerful, as many delegates in Philadelphia … had worried it might.”

The citizens of this great country are waking up to the fact that Congress won’t be saving us from this mess. That’s what makes Levin’s solution so timely. After all, what other option do we have? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results?
