The high performance of our current economy is hiding the fact that we're headed for serious trouble.
As Mark Meckler explained on Fox Business, it will take a historic effort to pull ourselves out of the $22 trillion debt hole Congress has dug for us.
"No nation has ever climbed out -- ever -- from the hole that we're in. Economists aren't talking about the $140 trillion in unfunded liabilities," Meckler said.
"We also have a problem of current deficit on an annualized basis. This administration is imposing more debt on the country per year than Bush or Obama. I think we ought to be looking forward to the travesty to come. The entire value of the Fortune 500 doesn't cover our annual deficit."
Fortunately, there is a solution. Article V of the Constitution allows the people and the states to call a Convention of States for the purpose of proposing amendments to the U.S. Constitution. These amendments can include widely popular measures like a balanced budget mandate, along with spending limits and tax caps.
Only with a complete package of financial checks on the federal government can we hope to force Congress to lower the deficit, reduce the debt, and preserve the economic future of our children and grandchildren.
