Economic reasons these United States should restore the Articles of Confederation

• Ron Holland via LewRockwell.com

How would you like to begin a peaceful, legitimate political action which could roll back the last 100 years of government growth and national debt along with the hated federal income tax and the Fed? What if you could force Washington to return to a strong dollar policy and allow real currency competition to escape the near total destruction of the dollar now worth only 5 cents of the 1913 dollar? Imagine a future when the President would be forced to seek a Declaration of War and get the states and citizens behind any new military incursion, invasion or bombing?

Most experts agree Washington’s national debt and unfunded liabilities are a ticking time bomb toward national bankruptcy and dollar collapse. Why should we let Washington’s global creditors or our nation’s enemies decide when to move against us? This could result in a massive confiscation of private wealth due to hyperinflation leaving the vast majority of productive Americans penniless and subsisting on increasingly worthless government handouts but only if they "behave and vote correctly."

We all know that Congress regardless of Democrat or Republican controlled is now only a tool of special interests that have taken over our government and now direct it primarily to increase their wealth, corporate profits and market share and power. Congress is increasingly irrelevant to control Washington or make foreign policy as this course is also charted by these interests and carried out by the president, now only a pretender and front man to promote their agenda.

Today, the best legitimate solution to Washington tyranny is the right of nullification as presented so well in Tom Woods’ new book, Nullification. But should this fail, there is another alternative, secession from the Washington Empire and the restoration of state sovereignty and a limited, debt-free central government under America’s first government established by our founding fathers, The Articles of Confederation.
